Bonnie Hopper’s work tends to be tactile. She’s always been drawn to the idea of creating art that people can experience through touch as well as sight. Her subjects are a series of observations pulled from the onrush of the everyday life. For example, a visual snapshot of something completely mundane will strike a chord and lead her on a journey. If Bonnie’s blessed, at the end of that journey there will be an extraordinary work of art.

Since she seldom knows what a piece will look like until it’s finished, Bonnie can only plan so far and that’s part of the excitement. For her, painting is about pleasure, mystery and sensuality – a safe port of call for her Muse to land and shed its inhibitions on the way to fulfillment and self-discovery.
