A bit about the artist behind the paintings…
Boni Belden-Doney, a Northwest artist, has devoted her life to the craft of painting, particularly focusing on watercolors that portray people, pets, and nature. While the world of art often allows for boundless creativity, Boni has adhered to certain principles that have shaped her distinctive style over the years. Her artistic journey has been one of evolution, where she has gradually shifted from intricate details and complex color layering to creating works that embody joy and simplicity.
Recently, Boni embarked on a new chapter while illustrating a children’s book. This experience not only expanded her portfolio but also enriched her artistic approach. Through her simpler styles, she aims to evocate joy, enlivening her subjects in a way that resonates with viewers. Boni believes that her art should not only reflect the essence of her subjects but also connect with the hearts of those who engage with her work.
In her reflective thoughts, Boni asserts that everyone possesses unique talents and gifts, and it’s crucial to leverage them to bring joy and beauty into the world. She notes that art has the extraordinary ability to stir emotions, allowing viewers to feel a connection that can often be inexplicable. This emotional magnetism is what she strives to achieve in her paintings, leaving a lasting impact that might alter one’s perspective on life.
Boni’s faith plays a significant role in her journey as an artist. Having grown up in the church, she has known a deep connection with God since childhood. Her spiritual journey has been filled with ups and downs, yet her love for the Lord remains steadfast. Music, too, has been integral to her life, which she shared as a choir director at a young age. This combination of faith and creativity shapes her artistic expression and continues to inspire her growth as an artist. As she looks forward, Boni is determined to embrace every opportunity bestowed upon her, driven by her passion for art and her unwavering love for God.
