Originally from Philadelphia, PA. where she studied at Temple University’s Tyler College of Art, Bonny has been an active participant of the Dallas art community since her arrival.

MacInnis’s Have you met.., Lynette Haggrd’s Artist Interviews and Todd Camplin in ModernDallas.net. Leibowitz recently co-curated the “Family Ties” exhibition with Julie Torres of Bushwick, NY.

The “New Artifacts” works grew out of my interest in hand woven and printed textiles with cultural and historical significance and their somehow humorous counterparts, readily accessible materials of today, such as vinyl and acrylic. Some works present on boards I’ve shaped while others originate as antique objects from India and France along with vintage American pieces to become unrecognizable from their original identities. By adding my hand to the history of each piece, I’m referencing the larger picture of how we shape the future and impart legacy.
