There is so much talent in the area. Our artists have different styles and media. Each is unique. Each is exceptional.
BONITA BELL
Stained Glass Mosiacs by Bonita is the creation of Bonita Bell. Bonita is a life-long Kingston native., and in every sense a truly local talent. Bonita studied art at both Ontario College of Art in Toronto and Queen's University in Kingston. She took several years off from her passion for art to raise a family and enjoy a career in the Federal Government.
After her retirement she discovered the artist that was always there, lying dormant. Having once again embraced her love of art, 'Stained Glass Mosiacs by Bonita' was born.
Bonita is located in Kingston.

She is primarily self taught, her passion is to explore and develop her intuitive style and use of colour and texture.

MARIA OFFIN
Self-taught by observation, internet, museum visits, and trial and error, Maria had been practicing visual arts her entire life.
Originally from St. Petersburg Russia, Maria moved to Canada in 2002. She studied electrical engineering and later completed her Master’s degree in Environmental Studies at Queen’s University. Her very first art influences come from the time when her parents habitually took her and her brother on the weekend “excursions” into the many beautiful museums of St. Petersburg. The fascination with paintings began during that time spent in the galleries.
Maria’s current job as a Project Manager with Parks Canada in Kingston Ontario has taken her to the many beautiful local places that keep inspiring her artwork. With her paintings she strives to convey the feeling of true experience. Maria is drawn to and fascinated by water. Water appears a lot in her artwork. Maria mostly works with acrylics and watercolours. She finds it thrilling to switch between these two vastly different mediums, reliving the motto that most exciting things are all about contrast- be it in art or life in general.
Maria is located in Kingston.
