BONNIE J. McCONNELL
CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES
Bonnie J. McConnell was born in Houston and graduated with Honors from the University of St. Thomas
Although Bonnie produced art throughout her life, her artistic ambitions were restrained by child-raising and the demands of an entrepreneurial real estate business. But upon grand-parenthood and retirement, her drive for art-making was unleashed.
With new-found time and attention, she discovered and explored the painterly potential of Polaroid Transfers, emulsion lifts and chemical enhancements until Polaroid film ceased to be manufactured. Forced to divert her experimentation, she began to explore new alternatives in digital photographic processes and is now on the cutting edge of the emerging field of digitally enhanced photography. She creates her own substrates using transfer film, handmade papers, metals, and multiple other processes.
