About Me
- Tonia
- Currently living in Denver, Tonia Bonnell received her BFA from Illinois State University in 2001 and MFA from University of Alberta in Canada in 2005. She creates prints and drawings using a repetitive mark-making system to develop her images. Drawing visual and conceptual inspiration from subjects such as weather and particle physics, she investigates the effects of small, individual parts massing together to form a whole. The meditative nature of Tonia’s process is consistently evident in her work while the density, sparseness, value, and movement of the marks vary in order to evoke a range of visual and emotional perceptions.
