Immensely Intrigued by Nature, This Artist Brings a New Life to the Formerly Alive - Andrea Bonadiman
Andrea Bonadiman has always been intrigued by nature. Andrea has created art from the time she was a small child. Bringing her artistic and academic interests together spawned the foundation for Bonadimani ART. Andrea explores many different mediums, such as skulls, bone, saw blades, canvas, wood, & clothing. She has discovered a plethora of different ways to create art with these mediums. Carving, acrylic, and pyrography are common practices found in her skull and bone art.

The Power of Practice: Tom Callos' Transformation from Martial Artist to Visual Artist
Following a professional career in martial arts (and several broken bones), Tom Callos is pursuing a quieter calling in relief print making. He found mastery of martial arts through repetition and seeks to do the same in his printmaking so he set out to create 1,000 portraits, believing a martial arts adage that until you’ve done something 1,000 times you haven’t really tried to learn it. Tom likes to focus his work on people who he considers to be upstanders and has recently worked on a series called People of Boise, where he features local upstanders. I hope you enjoy my interview with Printmaker Tom Callos.
His website is http://www.tomcallos.com.
He showcases his work at https://www.instagram.com/tomcallos nearly daily!

Bees, Reflections, and Transparency. Capturing the Overlooked with BJ Quinn
This interview with BJ Quinn was recorded in the home studio she and her husband share just outside of Boise, Idaho. She is a retired stenographer who started creating art as a hobby in her 20s. One of her largest bodies of work has been done to help raise awareness of the role bees play in bringing food to our tables.
You can see her most recent work on her Instagram. She has a beautiful website full of information and examples of her work. You can also find examples of her work on the Treasure Valley Artist Alliance website.
