Blissful Bonita
Fun Fact #1: I am a full-time mom to
two boys, a dog, two cats and three Scottish Highland cattle.
The Artist:
"You're an artist!" That's what my students would say. (I was a fourth grade Spanish Immersion teacher at the time.) And any time I illustrated a lesson on the white board, I would think, "Yes! Actually, I am an artist!"
I think I've always wanted to be an artist; and that's probably why my "careers" have been short lived... I am an ex-astrophysicist who has a degree in physics and Spanish. And I've had a variety of jobs from accountant, astronomer and Spanish Immersion teacher, to greenhouse worker, personal caretaker and bus driver.
So how did I finally get to be an artist? Well, painting has been one of my favorite hobbies for over twenty-five years. Back in 1996, I went to Ecuador for a semester in college. I had packed watercolors and canvas paper at the last minute. And since I had every weekend free to paint, I developed my own technique with watercolors on canvas; which is what I still enjoy doing the most.
Over ten years ago after I was burned out from teaching, I bought a studio and finally turned my hobby and passion into a business, Blissful Bonita Art Studio & Gallery.
The Gallery:
In 2011 I opened Blissful Bonita Art Studio & Gallery at 1047 E Market St in York, Pennsylvania.
I wanted it to be a casual center for creativity. I have taught a variety of classes such as watercolor painting, charcoal drawing, acrylic painting and jewelry to all ages. I also have had other artists teach their form of art and have an etching press now on site. A few times every year, I hold art exhibitions for new and established artists.

Fun Fact #2:
After painting landscapes and nature, I started painting wild and domestic animals. I love to be inspired by my fans (my "Blissful Bonita Art Amigos") when they ask me to paint their favorite animals.
