Bonnie Chase

 A biologist, botanist and naturalist by trade; I have had no formal art training, but have always dabbled in art starting at a very wee age and continued incorporating art throughout my careers.

Living on a small organic farm on MDI…..I grow, collect, forage and create most of my supporting tools, dyes, inks, pigments, paints and fibers used in my art practice. I define my art as mixed media….inspired by nature, the seasons and the diverse landscape on this beautiful island. Much of my art is tactile and my hope is that it reflects the many transient cycles and rhythms of the seasons, flora and fauna on MDI bringing a sense of place to its viewers.
