About Bonnie Brooks
NFT artist & visual artist, doing detailed realistic paintings to full abstractions. Luxury art that support missions around the world restoring hope. Bonnie majored in watercolors as an undergraduate and now paints mostly in oils.\"My work use to be thin layers of transparent paint giving a quality of depth. It now has a different quality of depth using the rich luster of oils in a thick impressionistic style of painting. I still layer my work painting all the tree branches even if they are not seen covered by leaves. This gives a quality of deepness through perspective and accuracy of the leaves hanging on the branches. My subject matter is still landscapes but in a broader view. I travel to Europe and other parts of the country to inspire a large range of landscapes.\" Bonnie has been teaching art for over forty years and her paintings have been in many juried art exhibits around the country. The artist studies of art are not exclusive to school, but she has traveled around the world to such places as Spain, England, France, Austria, Germany, Hungary and Czech. She was Vice President of the Visual Art Exchange, a member of the North Carolina Art Educators Association, the Michigan Watercolor Society, helped do fund raising for the United Arts and has received the Raleigh Metal of Arts. Artist Statement “I am a realist artist because I believe in painting what I can see. What God has so perfectly created. I do not want my art to shock people, but comfort them. I want people to look at my work and see the peace that God has created.” As part of my beliefs, I have applied the scripture reference Psalms 9:1 “I will praise the Lord with all of my heart; I will tell of His wonderful works.” I am not the creator He is. I paint His creations with His inspiration guiding every stroke.
