Collection: Bonnie Fraser

Bonnie Fraser is a New Zealand painter whose work reflects the ever-shifting rhythm of sea, land, and birdlife. Inspired by the dramatic weather patterns and light unique to Aotearoa, she captures moments where skies, tides, and landscapes change in an instant — from serene waters to heavy seas, soft morning light to stormy shadows.

Her practice is rooted in the outdoors, drawing on family trips to Auckland’s beaches, North Island rural scenes, and the delicate colours of spring flowers and native birds. Working in acrylic, watercolour, and pastel, Bonnie’s representational style focuses on light and movement, with each medium informing the other. Whether painted on location or later expanded into larger canvases, her works tell stories of nature’s constancy and change, offering both comfort and renewal.
