Bonnie Anderson

Artist Statement
Bonnie Anderson, well known artist and owner of Potters Addict Ceramic Art Centre, studied at the University of Calgary where she triple majored in painting, printmaking and ceramics. Before coming to Kelowna, Bonnie worked as a ceramic arts instructor and painting instructor for the City of Calgary.
When I moved to the Rotary Centre for the Arts in 2002 from my studio on Sexsmith Road, where I made pottery and taught about clay and its possibilities for thirteen years, I began to have an incredible yearning to pick up a paint brush and paint again. What else could I expect being surrounded by all kinds of painter personalities and their varied mediums? I am currently working on a series of landscapes using negative painting techniques on black canvas. (This is my black or dark period) But I must add this is one of the more enjoyable periods of my life and is not actually dark or black at all.
It's great having more than one medium to occupy the mind and body for when one is at a low period in one medium another medium can be inspiring and uplifting. Going back and fourth can be a challenge but most of the time it's just plain fun.
