The Doll Artist, Bonnie
Backshall
Bonnie has been artistic
ever since she was very young. She has worked with
several media, honing her talents in drawing, painting with
oils and floral design. Most recently she has become
an artist and designer of original art dolls using polymer
clay. Each figure begins with a ball of clay.
Each facial feature is added to create an original
sculpture. The hands are also made by adding the clay
piece by piece until complete. The clothing is also
hand made and accessories added with loving care.
Bonnie has studied with
top artists in Canada and the U. S. and is now teaching her own techniques in 3 day seminars here in
Ontario, Canada..
She has also been a guest
speaker at women's groups and various organizations,
explaining the art of sculpting and the path that has
brought her here.
Bonnie's work has been published in magazines, newspapers
and guild newsletters. Her work has been displayed at
several art and craft shows locally and abroad. She
has also won awards with her one of a kind sculptures.
Bonnie is a member of the Canadian Doll Artist's Association
and the Professional Doll Maker's Art Guild in the U. S.
Bonnie takes great pride in her work and looks forward to
