Artistic Processes of Bonnie Marie for Art and Poetry.

---

I began over 35 years ago using Corel Draw to combine my artworks and adding poetry.  Back then I would import into Photoshop from there into Corel to get the job done.  Today Adobe Photoshop allows me to do everything.  I import each working piece into Photoshop and when I am happy with the piece I will flatten the image and save it as I like for prints and Artist proofs in the future.  Now I am even able to put many effects on my work because of Photoshop capabilities and even create entire paintings within Photoshop painting and drawing capacities.   One of my favorite pieces to use as an example is  "Changing Seasons in America,"  Which has over 107 different faces and images created within it, many added or created right in Photoshop!

Another I love is "Indian Lands" which started as a drawing that I loved, I sprayed it to hold the pencil from rubbing off and used different sepia and black pencils, imported into Photoshop, colorized as I liked, and even added or highlighted areas I wanted to be noticed until I was happy with it.  I began drawing and painting and now paint with mainly acrylic mediums often combining them with highlighting mediums and glazes to get depth, sheen, and ethereal effects.  Examples would be "Contemplation of the Storm," and Sleepless in Seattle Sunset Proposal."  I have used tissue and different acrylic mediums as glue to create depth and sheens in a piece an example is "Yellow Cactus Flowers," and many pieces have a tremendous sheen and light effects with translucent paint, glitter and chrome finishes as in "As Clay," and "I am the Way."

You can order prints on many mediums here but if you are looking for finer Artists Proofs or numbered editions of my work on canvas or acrylic on metal that show off my work in stunning ways these are special orders through me.

You may order my work here in Different sizes... they are excellent quality but not numbered editions that I personally see to the creation of and sell in Galleries or by special orders.  Numbered Editions of course are more valuable and come with my signed Certificate of Authenticity telling you the number of each piece ( I only produce numbered editions of 25. ) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I also create personal works of art for YOU from your photographs or you can fly me to your location to do an assessment and take photos of individuals and areas you want to be incorporated in a painting as well as poetry created just for that work and it will be only yours.
