MEET THE ARTIST

Bonnie Chambers

Madison, Wisconsin

Madison has been my home since the mid 1980's. My childhood and teen years were spent in the Green Bay area. I then sprouted my wings, moved and lived in numerous states before coming back to Wisconsin and settling in Madison.

Enjoying art has been a part of my life for many years. My first art classes were taken at the University of Wisconsin in Platteville. I started with per and ink, graphite and charcoal. Then I moved on to watercolors, taking classes at MATC and the UW in Madison. I continue to take classes whenever I can and am starting to incorporate mixed media into my watercolors.

I find painting with watercolors to be challenging, rewarding, captivating, relaxing and just enjoyable. There is a serene, calming feeling when painting and I attempt to communicate this to the viewer. I love to travel and take many pictures for future references and paintings. I paint from both sketches and photographs

Over the years, I have shown at local galleries along with being active in several local artist groups, including Wisconsin Regional Artists Association, Madison Art Guild, Madison Area Open Arts Studios, 14 South Artists and Parallel Lives, Divergent Views
