Collection: "Innermost" Julianne Bonnet Solo Exhbition

KALEID Gallery is proud to present:

Innermost Julianne Bonnet solo exhibition

Julianne Bonnet uses the layering of imagery in digital and encaustic collage to create a visual depth that is representative of the human emotional landscape. 

Each image is a unique meditation on a deeply personal memory, thought, or idea that gets the core of experiences both painful and revelatory. Julianne’s work touches on concepts of trauma healing, a very important and increasingly visible part of our social fabric. 

The images in “Innermost” elicit hugs, tears, and the sharing of stories. Her work helps people to feel seen and understood and encourages them to embrace, and even celebrate, the hiddenmost parts of themselves and the experiences that have shaped them. 

“Innermost” takes you on an emotional journey of the deepest parts of the human psyche and unites us in our combined understanding of what it means and feels like to be human. 

Art is not always about pretty things. It’s about who we are, what happened to us, and how our lives are affected. – Elizabeth Broun 

About the Artist: 
Julianne is a nationally published poet, photographer and artist who draws inspiration from nature and concepts of emotional healing. She holds an MFA in English and Creative Writing from Mills College as well as a credential to teach college composition. 

Julianne grew up in Canada, New York and Palo Alto, and has lived all over California but was never home until she moved to 5 acres in beautiful Ben Lomond where she lives with her chickens, ducks, cat and dogs as well as her human family. She can often be found wandering the hiking trails of Santa Cruz County with her camera slung across her back looking “micro” for breathtaking moments of quiet discovery.
