Bonnie Anthony approaches the creation of her fine art as she does her own day to day life, with simplicity, balance and harmony.
Incoming President (2018-2020) and former Exhibit Chair (2015-2017) of the Pike’s Peak Pastel Society, Ms. Anthony embraces several interpretive styles and media in her award-winning creations including delicate colored pencil, chromatic pastel, transparent watercolor and painterly oil.
Her subjects range from delicate botanicals to rugged mountain scenery, from rusty trucks to old glass bottles. At her studio in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies or en plein aire, Bonnie finds inspiration for many of her works from the land’s indigenous surroundings.
