Instructor BioBonnie Griffith is a contemporary and impressionistic landscape artist and educator living and working at her studio in southwestern Idaho. She is an established and award winning plein air painter who participates in numerous plein air events throughout the western US annually creating paintings of the land.

Griffith works in oils and pastels mostly but enjoys other mediums of gouache and encaustic. She has studied with renowned artist/instructors Scott Christensen, Robert Moore, Ned Mueller and Lorenzo Chavez. Her work is shown in galleries in Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Utah. She has works in permanent museum collections as well as commercial entities in the western US. In addition to creating her own work, Griffith teaches workshops in Plein Air Painting and Pastels in her studio and at locations throughout the west and juries and judges art exhibits in galleries and museums. Griffith’s work can be seen on her website, bonniegriffith.com and Instagram @bonniezahngriffith.
