Bonnie has been collaborating with her partner, J.M. Syron, since 1987, designing and building one-of-a-kind and limited-edition studio furniture. They exhibit their work at high-end galleries, craft shows (such as the Smithsonian Craft Show) and museum exhibits across the country, including the Museum of Art and Design in NY and the Fuller Craft Museum in MA. Their furniture features veneers of polymer clay and carved surfaces and sculptural elements.
From this, Bonnie began to combine her carving skill with metal-working and polymer clay to create one-of-a-kind jewelry. She created a line of shawl pins on the request of her mother-in-law, Barbara Jones, a talented fiber artist. The design and functionality of these pins has evolved as their popularity has grown.
