Bonnie Steinsnyder
Bonnie’s love of tropical plants goes back to her Miami roots: she loves the lush, saturated, density of color and foliage. She still sees narratives in the gestures and arrangements of the flowers, and gets out her desire to tell stories with titles for the paintings like “Family Portrait with Unruly Kids”, “Cheerleader Orchids”, and “Gotterdammerung Orchids”.
I get absorbed in balancing flow of watercolor and control of form and space: my narratives are the gestures, colors and atmosphere of orchids.
