Bonnie Bronson 1940-1990

Artist Bio

Bonnie Bronson was born in Portland, Oregon in 1940 and attended the Portland Art Museum School (now PNCA, Pacific Northwest College of Art) from 1959-61. Bronson exhibited actively throughout the Northwest, including a one-person exhibition at the Portland Art Museum (1979) and several exhibitions at Marylhurst College in Marylhurst, Oregon. Bronson was commissioned for several permanent artworks at prominent businesses and institutions throughout Oregon, and received the Oregon Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship in 1978. Following her death in 1990, the Bonnie Bronson Fund was created, awarding an annual prize to a regional artist since 1992. She was honored by a major retrospective at PNCA in 2011. Elizabeth Leach Gallery continues to represent the Estate of Bonnie Bronson.
