BONNIE MAXEY

Artist Statement

"We ae truly defined by what we create, protect, and refuse to destroy.
The ocean is bondless, beautiful, and blue.
It is a magical place"
Inscription found in "Dancing with Sea Lions" by Phillip Bonds
On the Quino de Guardian in the Sea of Cortez

Bonnie Maxey is an Austin-based printmaker whose artworks reflect her deep connection with water
Her relationship and love of all things water is the greatest influence on her choice of subject matter for her art. Many of the pieces are taken from photos by the artists, while SCUBA diving, while others are a compilation from other sources.
Her artworks evoke awe, reverence and a sense of gentle urgency for the fragile blue heart of our planet, the ocean.
