About Bonny
Relocating to British Columbia from the Northwest Territories was a bit of a challenge and a bit of a blurr to be honest. I have enjoyed time settling into my new surroundings and have begun taking loads of photos of the amazing scenery. I was very thrilled to know my Mentor, Master Artist Gene Prokop was travelling here to Kelowna, BC to instruct painting sessions. I am enjoying his classes very much and have gotten inspired once again. The brushes are out, paint is on the pallet and I am simply enjoying time to create.
A Word on Leaving the Northwest Territories:
My Art Gallery is now closed. I sincerely hope everyone is enjoying a piece of realistic artwork reminding us just how lucky we are to live in the North. I am grateful for all the friendships I have made over the years and I know I will cross paths with many of you again. I plan to take a year of development and continue creating artwork - I will keep my website updated with my new adventures.
Take care. Cheers! Bonny

My Art Show titled, "Inspirations" was a huge success and confidence builder for me thanks to the supportive residents of Yellowknife, NT! The amount of work and time that goes into preparing for a show is huge - one year! High School photography student Samantha Hefford was hired to prepare a video from the start of a painting through the set up of the show, to the take-down. This video is now on my website under the "Features" tab. Sam has amazing talent and will have a successful career ahead of her!

www.nnsl.comA Bit of a Profile on how I got started on my Career:
After completing post secondary schooling and then formal training at “Pros Art School” in Edmonton, Alberta, Bonny opened her own art studio/gallery to begin a full time career as an Artist. The personal instruction Bonny received at the “Pros Art School” which teaches the way of the Old Masters while incorporating modern realistic methods literally opened up a whole new world. “It gave me the direction and confidence to be individual and the drive to continually challenge my potential. It was the influence I needed to truly give me my beginning.”
“I invite you to come visit my Gallery in person or on-line and enjoy its casual, modest atmosphere. I look forward to having you drop by on weekend afternoons when my sign is out, e-mail or please phone me to arrange a visit.” In addition to artwork, unique souvenir/gift items displaying various art pieces are now being sold.
Looking forward to your visit ..........
To my comfortable Gallery on the Edge of the Great Slave Lake!
