Bonnah’s artistic endeavours began to flourish after she joined the Perspective Art Group, a group of artists from the Dodsland, Luseland, Kerrobert, Tramping Lake and Kindersley area. Since then, she has painted with watercolour, acrylic, oil, alcohol ink and chalk pastel.
About six years ago, she and her husband took a train ride with friends from El Fuerte, Mexico, to the Copper Canyon. Bonnah was very impressed by the breathtaking scenery, rugged canyons, mountains and agricultural landscape. The women still wore their traditional colourful attire, which inspired this artist to create a series of chalk pastel portraits. The portraits are based on photos she took, which she sketched in pencil and chalk pastel.
