Bonnie Shapiro

   As a child, South Florida's tropical beauty strongly influenced Bonnie, cultivating itself in her palette and subject matter as an adult.  The Everglades and charming Florida towns that she visited in these young impressionable years  often predominate in her paintings.  Working primarily in oil, Bonnie portrays the simple beauty of the everyday scenes that we so often take for granted

Beginning the study of art at an early age and continuing throughout her life as she traveled from Boston to New York, Bonnie eventually returned to her beloved South Florida.  In addition to her study of fine art, Bonnie obtained degrees in psychology, anthropology and counseling from the University of Florida. She exhibits frequently thoughout Florida.  Her work is in private collections thoughout the United States.
