Bonnie Lorenzen is a native of Loudoun County, Virginia and she studied art in high school. As a child growing up on a dairy farm in Bluemont, Virginia, she enjoyed nature, roaming the alfafa fields, crossing the creeks and enjoying nature. She discovered at an early age that she was gifted with drawing and she loved to draw cartoons as she watched TV. She studied Art in high school painting in oils. In 2019 she stumbled upon Bob Ross on YouTube and became amazed with his style of painting. She learned his "Wet on Wet" technique and began creating her own style of painting with his Bob’s training. She paints in a realistic way, mixing with a wide variety of colors, making her paintings appear to be alive. She is inspired by nature, expressing her love of nature through her paintings that are characterized by a strong emotional expression. Whether she is painting a landscape, flower or portrait, each idea manifests in its own individual style. She uses a variety of different media, including oils and acrylics. She believes working in a single medium restricts her creative process. Bonnie feels that is you are going to paint its good to expose yourself and take the plunge and enjoy the challenge of painting different subjects.
