Bonnie Larden Art

Bonnie Larden is a self-taught, professional artist living and working in Ballina, New South Wales. Growing up on a cattle ranch in South Texas, she has always held a deep love for animals. Bonnie originally worked towards becoming a veterinarian by completing a degree in Biomedical Science at Texas A&M University. Moving towards a career as an artist, Bonnie was able to combine her love of animals with her second passion of creativity and interior design. As she considered an artistic style that would set her apart from other artists, she found inspiration in two of her favourite enjoyments from life.

Her Home Body and Creatures of Leisure series began with an idea of juxtaposing the untamed wild with intentionally designed spaces of leisure. By misplacing these subjects, she creates an element of surprise, with the aim to evoke a sense of imagination and interpretation in the viewer.
