Porcelain Artist and Web Master, Bonny A Eberly

Bonny has been painting porcelain in her home studio in Binghamton, New York for six years. She holds a Master's Degree in Metallurgy and Materials Science from the University of Pennsylvania. After her 22 year career at a large computer firm, she has focused on her artwork. She was inspired to paint by her father, who was an artist himself.

She is a past-president of the New York State chapter of the World Organization of China Painters. Participating in the WOCP, IPAT, and PPIO have provided Bonny the opportunity to study with contemporary porcelain artists. She studies regularly with Joyce Stewart, and has taken seminars and workshops with the following artists: Phyllis McElhinney, Rocio Borobia, Gerry Burchill, Vi Lane, Becky Syroka, Jill Homan, San Do, Miki Rubin, Vicki George, M.Filipe Pierera, Peter Faust, Lorna Maclaren, and Adele P. Holt. Click here to see a collection of B.A.Eberly's seminar paintings.

Bonny has combined her love of art, porcelain painting, jewelry, with her computer skills to develop The BonBon Gallery, an online art gallery. Bonny also is responsible for the web studios featured here in The BonBon Gallery. The gallery provides commission-free websites for artists to allow them to more easily gain a presence on the Internet. As a porcelain painter she loves to work with fellow artists to help them create their own personal online studio. You can view these by clicking one of the artist studios listed on the left.
