SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION

Biography:

Bonny Leibowitz was born January 1958 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  She attended Temple University's Tyler College of Art. In 1987 she began exhibiting nationally with one-person shows including those at  C. Anthony Gallery in Dallas, Adaggio Gallery in Palm Springs and Houshang's Gallery in Santa Fe.

Leibowitz’s work has been the subject of national publications and is in numerous national private and corporate collections including Theresa Haddock Interiors, Renaissance Inc and Poly America. She has been commissioned on numerous occasions to create inspired works for private collectors and organizations including The Kabbalah Center which uses the 5'x7' painting, 72 names of G-d, as a conduit for spiritual elevation. "Freedom's Union" is on the cover of "Blue Horses Rush In" by Luci Tapahonso and her piece "Wild Is The Wind" is featured in Nita Leland's book "The Creative Artist".  

She is also involved internationally with the Jewish Federation's Partnership 2000 Yitzhak project.  This project took her and her work to Israel in June of 2005 the result of which recognized her as an Israel Bonds honoree. Her painting "Eternal Yitzhak" was exhibited with an opening at the Canton Museum of Art in November 2005 and has now been acquired by The Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana.

In April 2005 "Dream Life" was exhibited and sold at the Dallas Museum of Art's Beaux Arts event.

An exhibition juried by Ellen Soderquist at Sue Flynn's Studio 3318 in Dallas, focusing on "The nude in art" chose "Delilah" for exhibition in November 2005. Leibowitz's association with Studio 3318, now renamed Norwood Flynn, continued with a one-person-show entitled "Flesh, An Exhibition of Paintings Revealing the Soul" in March of 2006 with a published a catalogue. Her second one-person-show at Norwood Flynn in November '07 was titled: "Permanent States of Transition"
Manhattan Arts International awarded Bonny "Best In Painting" in the "Her Story" competition for her submission "A Goddess And A Dream" in April 2007. Leibowitz achieved the honored position; "Artist of the Week" with Manhattan Arts International in November '07.

Leibowitz is a 2004 inductee of the prestigious National Association of Women Artists, Inc. based in New York NY. NAWA subsequently exhibited and sold "Configuration" in the 117th Annual Exhibition in May 2006. She is an active member with Manhattan Arts International.

Her most recent works are more abstract and conceptual in nature utilizing line and shape in new ways to reveal the essence of souls impacted by one another existing and moving through our corporeal world and beyond. Leibowitz continues to pursue her ongoing passion by developing ever greater intent, insight, imagery and technique.
