Bonnie Hartmann is the Executive Director Emeritus of the Miller Art Museum and a lifelong painter.  Hartmann maintains an artist practice from her homestead studio on the grounds of her historic 100-year-old farmhouse overlooking 5 acres of bountiful gardens.

Influenced by her time in Japan, Hartmann embraces simplicity and elegance in her work and is inspired by the beauty of nature, variation and pattern.  In her practice she searches for clarity and a moment of visual magic or poetic thought.

Her 2024 collection of pastels venture into soft abstraction through vivid, luscious color palette.
