I enjoyed speaking with artist Bonnie Hopper to discuss her career and origins as an artist as well as our shared passion and support for the mission and vision of Dress for Success Seattle (DFSS). DFSS is an organization I collaborate with often and believe in deeply. I love their mission to further economic empowerment for women and working with them allows me to impact the world in a way that aligns with my purpose. .
If you happen to visit the DFSS main office in Pacific Place Mall in Seattle, you will see Bonnie’s striking work prominently displayed.
About Bonnie:
Bonnie Hopper was born and raised in Seattle Washington and is one of thirteen children. In 1987 she applied to and was accepted into the advertising art program at Seattle Community College where she studied art for two years. Although art has always played an important role in Bonnie’s life she did not pursue her dream of becoming a professional artist until 2008 when she was commissioned to do a portrait by a friend of the family.
In 2016 Bonnie began her association with Onyx Fine Arts Collective in Seattle taking part the “Truth B Told” exhibition for artist of African descent at the King Street Station where she sold several for her resin works.
