Bonnie Durham was born on a moving day, in a small lake town in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Growing up the middle child of a large family left plenty of time for her spirit to flourish. She dreamt of flowers transforming into butterflies and that the whispers of the wind were communicating with her a secret language.

Her work explores moments of discovery and wonder; innocent epiphanies and the personification of nature that suggest a deeper understanding.

Bonnie's art has been exhibited in galleries across the United States, New York, Washington D.C., California, Canada and the United Kingdom. Her art has gained praise on many websites including: Juxtapoz, Artist A Day, Lost At E Minor, and various others.

She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
