Cindy Bonito portrays primarily nature imagery through the mediums of relief printmaking, watercolor, and photography. She has been involved in art for the past 30 years. She has studied printmaking through classes at both Diablo Valley College and Sierra College. She has developed her watercolor skills working with a local working artist.Â
Cindy has participated in and shown her work in the Loomis Loop Mother’s Day Tour, Placer Autumn Art Tour, The Newcastle Studio Tour, Auburn Art Walks, The Flower Farm, and participated in the Embellishments Artist Studio in Auburn.
Photography became a passion while in search of original subject matter for floral watercolors. Photography has also aided in the search for unique perspectives for the development of nature based relief prints. A background in watercolor has led to the hand coloring of both wood and linoleum relief prints. The addition of metal Chine Colle has added yet another dimension to explore.Â
