Dorothy Bonneau's paintings are all
about color and emotion. She's inspired by the way light
catches an object and transforms it. Be it animal or tea
pot, the light creates the mood. It's all about
capturing that first feeling. Every painting, in her
mind, turns out to be a portrait of that moment.
Raised in the south, she studied portraiture, first with
Christopher Clark and Constance Miller in Tampa, and
then was fortunate enough to work for seven years with
Roman and Constantine Chatov in Atlanta throughout the
70's. With that as a background, she has continued to
train with other notable artists whom she admires and
her work has become more and more about her own personal
expression.
Dorothy's paintings have been
exhibited throughout the United States and are in
corporate and private collections in the US and Europe.
A signature member of the Women's Caucus for the Arts,
she's a member of the Oil Painters of America and the
Washington Potter's Association. She lives and maintains
a studio in Redmond, WA where she and her husband work,
both collaboratively on ceramic sculpture, and
individually on paintings.
