DescriptionMichigan native Nancy Bonior’s topographical work is inspired by the labyrinthine streets in the neighborhoods she’s lived in, like Detroit and Staten Island, as well as the contours of various American states, like Maryland and New York. Her drawings and inks display sprawling, web-like forms crisscrossing and cascading across the picture plane. Bonior has exhibited work at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, the Staten Island Museum, the Saatchi Gallery, the Wagner College Gallery, and the Germaine Keller Gallery, and has shown alongside artists such as Steven Foust, Tony Geiger, Daniel Rosenbaum, and Maureen O’Leary. Bonior received her MFA from Wayne State University, and currently is an instructor in Graphic Design and Computer Art at the Michael J. Petrides School in Staten Island, New York.Collections
