SPRING NEWSLETTER 2020

Hello Art Patrons,

I’ve missed you all, waiting patiently through many art exhibit postponements.  My redwood painting did get juried into the 150 year Anniversary Celebration of Golden Gate Park but, of course, postponed.  Ditto for the Garden Club of America’s Flower Show, the Children’s Support League House Tour, Bouquets des Arts, and several others.

The good news is four Piedmont artists stepped up to the creativity plate to organize the 1st Piedmont Art Walk. It’s a social distanced, masked, no touch art show in our front yards, to benefit art in schools, because those fundraisers have been cancelled.  This is our way to help.  We have an interactive map to scan on red posters throughout town.  Please stop by my porch for a look.  I’ve been framing my small Botanical prints in collectible frames these last months and I will be selling them along with several Bug Hotels—hanging garden art where pollinators feed, rest and shelter-in-place!  Larger prints and framed art can be brought outside upon request.

You can otherwise purchase my signed Botanical Art cards at Rocky’s Market in Leimert, with donations going to the Food Bank for each card sold.

Stay resolute everyone,

Bonnie Bonner
