After attending the American Academy of Art in Chicago, painter and fine art teacher Bonnie Anderson studied exten- sively with working artists, both nationally and abroad. In 1975, she founded The Studio Art School and Gallery in Wauconda, Illinois, which she owned and operated for 25 years. The artist also had a home in Scottsdale, Arizona, where for seven years she was active on the curriculum committee for Scottsdale Artist’s school. A member of the prestigious Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Art in Chicago, Anderson had the privilege of serving on their board of direc- tors for four terms.
In 2015, Anderson and her husband moved to Charleston, where she continues to paint through the mediums of oil on linen and charcoal drawings. She thinks of her work as classic and timeless and strives for an old-world elegance in her subjects in hopes of capturing a moment in time.
