About Bonnie See

Bonnie See I was born into a city of sharp light, tall shifting shadows, hard edges, constant motion, a multitude of reflecting surfaces and night-time glitter: New York, N.Y. Childhood fascination with mica sparkling in the cement sidewalks, sunlight flashing off cars streaming down the Westside Highway, sunset colors reflecting in the ruffled water of the Hudson River, neon signs lighting up at night against the black New Jersey shore - all evolved into a life-long love of luminosity and the sculptural possibilities of light and shadow. Summers were spent in the small-village farm country of the Catskill mountains in the company of three generations of family. The embracing quiet, the softness of the rolling mountains, grassy fields and billowing tree-tops, the unaccustomed freedom to roam, all added abiding passions that I attempt to express in my paintings, drawings and photographic artwork. For the past 20 years I have lived with, and love, the dramatic contrasts of big-sky Southern Arizona, in the foothills of Tucson, an outdoor sort of city within the Sonoran Desert.

As to my art education, I was first encouraged by my father, who before going into business had studied at the Art Students League and worked as a free-lance illustrator. He took me with him on weekend painting outings in the country and set me up with my own oil paints and canvas board. After graduating from Bryn Mawr College I returned to my beloved New York City, where in four years I earned a Certificate in Art from the Cooper Union's evening art school. One of my favorite drawing teachers there was the great Robert Gwathmey. Many years later, anticipating the void of my son leaving for college, I took lessons in watercolor technique from an accomplished friend in my then home-town of East Aurora, N.Y., outside Buffalo. I chose watercolor because it demands speed and decisiveness, neither of which were my innate strengths. I have also taken workshops in silk-screen print-making, monotype - including one in Santa Fe with Gregory Condos, and plein-air oil painting with Ray Roberts, and I have worked on and off at life-drawing at The Drawing Studio in Tucson, Arizona.
