Bonnie Salser is a compelling visual artist whose bold abstract works reflect a life shaped by travel, personal resilience, and a deep connection to the natural world. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Bonnie draws on her experiences and observations—from distant landscapes to everyday textures—to create vibrant, multi-dimensional pieces filled with color, movement, and emotion. Taking inspiration from concrete elements such as plants and bodies of water, she abstracts these forms into layered compositions, often using repurposed materials and everyday objects to apply paint.

For Bonnie, creating art has become a vital outlet for managing the effects of PTSD and finding balance after military service. Taking intentional breaks from her work allows her to return with fresh perspective and renewed creativity, helping her continue to grow and refine her style. She embraces experimentation and enjoys seeing how ideas unexpectedly develop into visual stories. Drawn to the limitless possibilities of painting, Bonnie values the freedom it offers in contrast to the structure of military life, allowing her to express emotion, intuition, and the spirit of each moment. Bonnie Salser’s artwork will be on display from February 1 through February 28.
