Jeanne Bonine's Biography
Romantic Realist Jeanne Bonine is known for her soft and lush larger-than-life floral paintings. Although her early works of the '70s were executed in oils, Bonine soon discovered the challenge of transparent watercolor. It has become the medium of her choice, as she learns through the years to master "purist" techniques and the art of controlled freedom.
She began to self-publish her works in 1986 as limited edition lithographs and later evolved to the newer method of giclée printing, releasing nearly one hundred of her works within a twentyyear span.
In 1994, after being treated for Stage III breast cancer, Bonine began to write prose and poetry, creatively revealing her idealist beliefs. The art of inspiring has become the essence of Bonine's paintings and writings and is now available in a 128 page coffee table book entitled "Jeanne Bonine - Inspirations of Timeless Beauty". -
Her watercolor images can be found in galleries throughout the United States and in collectors' homes and offices throughout the world. Her works have been featured on Northwest Airlines wine and food menus, in Victoria magazine's "Favorite Things" column, and on the walls of Arizona's Hilton Mesa, Camelback Spa, and Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale.
