Jeanne Bonine

Romantic Realist, Jeanne Bonine is internationally known for her rich and lush floral paintings.  Her larger than life oversized watercolors and oils draw you into the essence of her subjects from exotic  birds and garden wonders to the majesty of a single rose.

Over her 60 year span of creating, Jeanne has earned the integrity that comes with that of a successful and seasoned artist.  Her award-winning watercolors and oils are executed masterfully, with light and movement being an integral element in her work.  The detail of her subjects along with her fluid approach to backgrounds, create a magical combination that speaks of passion, strength, and softness while capturing the romance of timeless beauty.

Arizona has exhibited Jeanne Bonine’s paintings at the West Valley Art Museum, The Phippen Western Art Museum, and the Desert Caballeros Western Museum where her works were recently exhibited in the 2020 “‘FLOWER POWER EXHIBIT”.  She exhibits yearly at the Thunderbird Artists Gallery in Carefree, Arizona and the Phippen Museum gift shop.  Jeanne’s paintings are owned by collectors from coast to coast in the United States as well as Canada, England, Germany, France, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand, Japan, the Netherlands and in the Naivasha Women’s hospital in Kenya, Africa.   Her works have been featured on art magazine covers and in many editorials including US Art, Southwest Art, Western Art, AZ Images and Phoenix Home and Garden.

At home in Arizona, Jeanne is surrounded by subtle beauty and luminescent light, finding the Sonoran Desert a vital part of her inspiration and well-being. Her studio gallery in North Scottsdale is open by appointment and for exclusive showings.  Should you visit, she may be moved to read prose published in her coffee table book, “Inspirations of Timeless Beauty”.  This beautiful book features her paintings, prose and life’s journey.
