Bonnie Smith

New Jersey Based artist Bonnie Smith begins with the simple mandate: paint what you love and create an emotional reaction to your paintings in the viewer. Considering herself more of an illustrator than a fine artist, Bonnie exquisitely renders all of her watercolors and colored pencil drawings, from whimsical to serious. She studied art at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts where she was not only taught to draw, but how to make a living as an artist. For over 30 years, she designed soft goods for textile companies, pet toys for Hartz Mountains, glass ware, fine china, logos and needle arts and crafts. One of the most popular and award-winning artists at the Canterbury Art Show, Bonnie loves to draw animals, especially horses.
