Bonnie Drum Yetter's goal is to convey the special connection that exists between animals and their people. She uses pastel pencils to capture moments in time when that bond is evident. She brings a vision to her work that encourages the viewer to see things from a fresh perspective. After retiring from a career in education, Bonnie took up painting full-time. She has exhibited extensively in New York State and fulfilled numerous commissions. She consistently strives to perfect her technique through workshops, study and practice. Bonnie lives in Conklin, New York with her husband, Dave, two Corgis and a cat. When not painting she rides her Morgan, Luke, and "plays" at showing her Corgis, Hannah and Higgins. Her liflong love of animals is reflected in her sensitive portrayal of pets and their people.
