Bonnie O. App’s art journey was first inspired by her older brother, an illustrator and commercial artist.

Throughout Bonnie’s working life, first a teacher, and then, no surprise to her family, a commercial artist, her free time was often spent creating art using a variety of mediums. In her retirement she began a journey into botanical art and became a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists.

As a natural extension of traditional botanical art, she began to create cyanotype photograms of plants and landscapes. She is a supporting member of AlternativePhotography.com. Cyanotype, one of the oldest forms of photography, dating back to 1842, makes use of all the skills that she has learned along the way through her work as a graphic designer, a photographer, a botanical artist, and as an observer of nature.

Bonnie O. App exhibits regularly in both solo and group shows.

“Each time I embark on a composition, I am led through a series of steps that provide me with a new and unique appreciation of nature.”
