Come meet artist Bonnie Figgatt at the opening reception for her new botanical drawings and monotypes exhibit at the Ridgefield Library on Saturday, October 26th between 2:00-4:00 pm. Bonnie's exhibit will be on view from October 24th through November 21st in the Lower Level Gallery during regular Library hours.
Bonnie Figgatt has been a botanical artist for 15 years, initially doing extensive coursework in the New York Botanical Garden’s certificate program in botanical art. She recently added monotype printmaking to her practice, first studying at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk.
Bonnie has studied for many years with botanical artist Lauretta Jones, and with master printer Anthony Kirk.Botanical drawing tends to be exacting and precise; monotype is less controlled and can be unpredictable. Bonnie has found that alternating between drawing and printmaking refreshes and informs her work in each.
