About the Artist

Bonnie Gardner (1928-2004) was a talented mixed-media Long Island artist who specialized in watercolor portraits. She did a whole celebrity portrait series, including among others: Eleanor Roosevelt, Jack Nicolson, Georgia O’Keefe, and Barbra Streisand.

Bonnie also worked in oils, pastels, pen and ink, and sculpture. In addition to the portraits, her collection includes animals, nudes, lighthouses and other historic landmarks, abstracts, and still life, with a major focus on flowers.

We hope to compile a book of her best work in the not too distant future. If you appreciate this style of artwork and might be interested, please contact her daughter, Kari Tieger.
