Bonnie Childs is a self-taught watercolor artist living and working in Venice, Florida. Her work is inspired by the natural environment that flourishes on the Gulf Coast. She paints vibrant Florida tropical birds – a representation of the paradise she feels grateful to call home. To complement each bird, she creates refurbished frames with a signature paper technique. This developed from customizing furniture pieces as a creative outlet and to bring a second-life to used objects, as sustainability is important to her.
