What Is Donna Bonin Gallery?
Updated
Donna Bonin Gallery (donnabonin.ca) is the personal showcase site of watercolour artist Donna Bonin. It presents her paintings and her artistic background rather than functioning as a general marketplace or gallery directory. If you want to see her watercolour work, learn what inspires it, or find out where it has been exhibited, this site is the place to look.
What the site presents
The site is built around Donna Bonin's watercolour paintings. Her subject matter draws on long-standing personal passions, and the work reflects a range of settings and experiences rather than a single theme.
According to the site, her paintings have been shown in numerous juried shows, galleries, and shops in and around the Bay of Quinte area and internationally.
Her artistic background
Several details on the site explain where the work comes from:
- She has served as "Artist-in-the Park" at both Sandbanks and Presqu'ile Provincial Parks.
- She paints in Algonquin, as well as in the tranquillity of her own garden.
- Travel has inspired many paintings, from Europe to the High Arctic.
- Years of experience with boats and horses allow for accurate rendering of these within a composition.
That combination — park residencies, travel, and hands-on familiarity with boats and horses — is what shapes the subjects she chooses to paint.
Recognition and exhibitions
The site notes that Donna Bonin has been featured in ATIM's Top 60 Masters of Contemporary Art and in Marquis' Who's Who for North America and Internationally. It also references appearances at the Artistes du Monde International Exhibition in Cannes and showing work in the Louvre (including the painting Tree Tones).
