Bonnie's Favorite Things

Discover New Tools and Resources

Bonnie opened doors for me that I never knew were possible. She opened my mind to what I can achieve with my life.

I learned so much from Bonnie, not just the technical aspect, but the mental aspect as well. I became more resilient, disciplined and focused. There are two types of people in the world; those who simply talk and dream of success and the ones who go out there, chase their dreams and get things done. You’ve got to do the hard work; then you’ll thank yourself a year from now. I know I am.

There are a few experiences in my career as an illustrator and surface pattern designer that I can consider life changing.

One of those experiences is coming across Bonnie Christine. As an artist I have come across many workshops and courses but not all have been as valuable as Bonnie's. The knowledge and skills that she shares is far from being generic. Not only does she share her experiences, she teaches the necessary tools you need to grow and blossom in your career. She has been an important mentor in my career, and a beautiful kindred spirit!

– Nancy Noreth

Seriously...SO MUCH CHANGED after this course.

One accomplishment has been that I can use Illustrator now with EASE and let me tell you...if I can start at 54 years old going from "I don't know what I'm doing with Illustrator" then ANYONE can do this.
