"I loved doing art as a young child and once in high school I was never allowed to join the art class because I was always told that I wasn't good enough. Fast-forward 60 some years and here I am. Now I do craft fairs and art competitions and I have ventured out into Pet Portraits."
"I joined Ignite after seeing Bonny on Facebook. The Ignite community has been so supportive and encouraging. My drawing skills have greatly improved through the detailed tutorials and live art clubs. I'm now taking commissions for my art, all thanks to Ignite."
"My journey started in May 2023 when my sisters came to stay with me. I was grieving the loss of my only daughter. Each drawing I do is for me. I love it. It takes me to another world that I prefer. I feel my daughter with me each time I draw. I'm now ok within my skin."
"When I was a child I wanted to study art but my father did not think it was a worthy career so I was not allowed to study. Then five years ago I lost my husband and needed something to take my mind off my grief. Then by chance I came across Bonny online and began following her and then joining Ignite."
"Joining the Bonny Snowdon Academy was the best decision I made, especially during Covid. I've learned much more than drawing, all in a stress-free, supportive environment. While I didn't aim to become a full-time artist, I've achieved more than I expected, including participating in a local exhibit."
"For me Bonny's classes are like space in my life of peace, creativity and relaxation. I love the way she is. Casual. Easygoing. Informal. Open. Generous. I admire her and her vision. And I SUPER enjoy her videos. They are so worth it."
I've enjoyed learning the ins and outs of drawing. The weekly Art Clubs have been so much fun. I especially appreciate Bonny's wealth of knowledge regarding the craft as well as the business side of things."
