Bonnie Hastings is a watercolour artist who delights in bringing the joy and beauty of nature into the homes of her patrons. Shoreline living and a lifetime enjoying the diverse beauty of flora and fauna inspire her work. Her “up close and personal” approach to composition magnifies the beauty of her floral subject matter and she loves to depict the many moods of Lake Huron. Currently she is enjoying the challenge of acrylic painting. A native of Owen Sound, Bonnie attended Stratford Teacher’s College and worked in Ontario and Quebec as a teacher, mother and medical assistant. She now enjoys retirement in Southampton, Ontario. Bonnie now frequently takes part in square foot shows and other displays across Ontario, online shows and in local exhibitions. She is a member of the Shoreline Artists Association and her work is currently available at Southampton Arts. At this time her paintings are in the Westland Gallery in London and The Wild Goose Studio in Blyth. She was in the Owen Sound Banner Project for three years. The Walkerton Library show awarded her prizes for two consecutive years and she has received a number of awards from GalleryRing.com and Lightspacetime.art.
