Join the partners at Carriage House Gallery of Artists from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 5, to celebrate Bonnie Mann’s lovely artwork and to learn about her inspiration and techniques.
Mann prefers creating still life paintings in oils. Rummaging through family treasures and purchasing objects in antique shops, she creates the setups for her paintings. Her painterly style gives her paintings a feeling of movement, drawing the viewer in, inviting a closer look at the visible brush strokes and to get a sense of the artist’s creative energy.
In her artist’s statement, Mann said, “I strive to convey the beauty I see daily in the world around me, in each and every still life or landscape painting. I invite the viewer on a journey to explore the world of color, light and form. I want to tell a story with every painting, summoning the viewer to finish the story. Art is my therapy of choice. I seek it daily. It fills my heart and soul.”
