Since beginning her
journey of canvas, brush and pigment in 1988, rural American artist
Bonnie
Mohr’s art has grown into a breadth of work that touches every aspect of
the
look, the language and the sentiments of rural America.
She and husband John raise their five
children on a dairy farm near Glencoe,
Minnesota, where she
balances a
busy family, a business and her heart’s desire to create artwork that
captures
the heritage and lifestyle that she loves.
Bonnie has earned her
well-deserved reputation as one of America’s
most
eminent painters of rural America
and the domestic animal. Mohr’s
self-taught artistic skills blend realism with an innate sense of color
and
design, making each original a classic work of art.
Bonnie has been filmed
for national TV Shows, including US Farm Report with Orion Samuelson and
her
most recent segment on PBS TV’s “America’s Heartland”.
Bonnie Mohr is just a
farm girl who packs an enormous love for painting her passions –
straight from
the heart. “Through my work, I hope you
will feel a sense of inspiration, find special meaning in ordinary
day-to-day
events, and sense a connection to rural America”.
Diane Arthurs began
her artistic journey at a very early age, drawing and coloring her way
through
childhood. Continuing into a more
learned environment, she participated in a commercial art program in
high
school and then onto art school where she graduated with an associate’s
degree
in advertising and design. She worked in
the commercial field as an art director of an advertising agency until
she
branched out onto her own and specialized in graphic design.
In 1991, she met Judy
VonStein of Imaginating, Inc. and ventured into a needlework designer,
designing cross-stitch and quilt patterns. Her painting
talents led her to her current
agent, Penny Lane Publishing.
Today, she produces a
range of interchangeably styled still-life paintings in acrylic medium. A
"country-esque" theme shadows over much of her work as she captures
the essence of home. Diane’s paintings
are soft and comfortable; some of her most recent work includes game
room and
floral art. She believes country is homemade and handmade, but most of
all
provides a feeling of comfort that she wishes to draw her viewer into.
