Taste This: The True Story

Bonnie began her art career in film.  She received a BA in Film and Video with a minor in Art History from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC).  Originally creating experimental documentaries she began to turn to animation to express her ideas.  Bonnie found that she preferred creating these 2-D images.  She loved the immediacy of them compared to film.  Her paintings are still very narrative and this stems from her time based media background.  Normally pairing her paintings with short stories underneath she believes in the dialogue between the artist and the viewer is very important to each piece.  To view the pairing of paintings and stories please visit her blog www.soybonnie.tumblr.com

Bonnie Cunningham was raised in Edgewater, MD and moved to Baltimore, MD whenshe was seventeen to attend UMBC.   After she graduated she stayed in Baltimore and pursued a career in film.  After working on several independent movies including Laid to Rest, and other film and television projects she focused her attention on paintings.  Cunningham is now living in San Francisco and has shown her paintings across the country.  She has several new projects in the works so keep checking out the site fro updates.  Check out her vegan dinner blog at www.eatingoutvegans.blogspot.com
