Selected works of local artist Bonnie Brady are currently on display at the Joshua Tree Branch Library.

Bonnie states, "I work in acrylics and mixed media, often adding my own handmade papers to my paintings. The combination of paint and paper makes for rich textures and unexpected patterns. I also use other collage materials such as corrugated papers, fabrics and print media in foreign languages in my work. Exploring color has been the focus of my paintings for the last three years."

Bonnie's work has been exhibited at the Huntington Beach Art Center, Santoro Art Center in Santa Ana, and the Jayne Behman Gallery in Palm Springs. She received a Creativity Award at the Palm Springs Art Museum juried student show and the College of the Desert Alumni/Rotary Achievement Award for Painting in 2006. In June she had several paintings shown at the Modern Masters Gallery in the show "Emerging Visions." She is an active member of the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council.

This exhibition is part of a continuing series of art shows sponsored by the Friends of the Joshua Tree Library. The exhibitions are curated by the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council.
