Bonni Farber is a semi-abstract, mixed media painter, working in South Florida. With an insatiable need to express herself with paint onto canvas, she creates a calm and zen feeling. There is never a time in her life that she could find this peace without painting being part of the process!

Her technique is to paint large areas of shapes across a canvas in mainly neutral colors, then onto the figurative dimension. Often, she pre-plans her color selection days before the actual painting begins. Using an oversize palette knife and other tools, she waits and watches for drips and shapes to naturally appear.  Then the decision making begins, of what sections to keep and what to remove. Carefully she selects a theme of nature to begin a new application of a story-to-tell. It could be a theme of butterflies, dragonflies, flowers or whatever catches her eye at a particular time. It may be an original theme with a visual language that will work itself into the previously placed neutral foundation.
