Paintings
Nicolette Maguire Bonnstetter’s work is tied to her life. She has taken the Dutch Vanitas concept, using symbols that reference her parenting, her marriage, woman, woman’s work, society, and herself.
When she steps back from the paintings she sees a quilt, a quilt of experiences, good and bad…a life! These quilts enfold her, much as those sewn for centuries by woman. She is piecing herself together, slowly, steadily, with each brush stroke.
