PRESS RELEASE

Bonnielynn Brankey is the featured White Room Artist at The Antioch Fine
Arts Foundation (AFAF) for April. AFAF, a not-for-profit organization, is
dedicated to the education and promotion of art in and around Lake
County Illinois.

Bonnielynn Brankey’s show last April in our White room featured colorful
and inspirational marine art.  Since April she’s traveled to “The Florida
Dive Show” in West Palm Beach, Florida and to “Our World Under Water”
in Chicago for the largest consumer Trade Show in the Midwest displaying
her work.  Her passion for rescuing our planet along with its’ marine life
continues, however, her show this year depicts original oil and watercolor
landscapes, aptly named “Artistic Wanderings.”  Images such as Mt.
McKinley, Glacier Park in Montana, rural back roads of Northern
Wisconsin are first captured by camera and subsequently translated to
canvas in the tranquil, muted tones of her interpretive style.  Bonnielynn
holds a degree in art and has been painting for over 40 years.  During this
time she’s painted both residential and commercial murals from private
baths to dive shops to dental offices.  Giclee prints of her underwater art
along with her originals will be available for purchase.  Visit her website:
www.bonnielynnsart.com for samples of her work.

Bonnielynn’s work will be on display for the entire month of April at our
Gallery located at 83 Main Street, Antioch.  For directions or for further

Bonnielynn Brankey's passionate mission to draw attention to
the fact that our oceans need help is depicted in the beautiful
marine art she produces that "celebrates life in the sea."  Her
undersea explorations as a scuba diver led her to marine
photography which then is her inspiration for either oil or
watercolor interpretation.  Her murals adorn many walls in
Racine, Kenosha, Lake, Cook and McHenry counties.  A past
recipient of the Golden Palette Award from Kenosha Art
Association for a 20" x 40" pencil drawing and a past member of
the Lake County watercolor Guild, some of her work may
currently be viewed at the Antioch Senior Center and on her
website: www.bonnielynnsart.com

An opening with refreshments being served and both artists in
attendance is being held on April 1st at the gallery, located at
83 Main Street, Antioch, IL.  Both artists work may be seen for
the entire month at the gallery.  For this and more information
on upcoming events call the gallery at 847-838-2274 or visit us
on-line.
