Bonnie Burroughs' "Wanderings" on Display at Freedom Public Library
Freedom’s own Bonnie Burroughs is the featured artist at the Freedom Public Library from now through June. She has put together a wonderful show of breathtaking photographs she calls “Wanderings.” Bonnie purposely chose to print her photos on aluminum which gives them realistic and faithful color reproduction.
Since most of us have been limited in our ability to go far from home in the past year, Bonnie was motivated to choose her favorite photographs from travels with her sister Donna over the past decade, including our western National Parks and other locations that she has found meaningful and inspiring. She began this series in 2010 when she and her sister flew to New Mexico, beginning an annual tradition of road tripping together where Donna would drive and Bonnie would shoot with her camera.
Bonnie’s wanderlust stems from her days growing up on a farm in Freedom, driving the backroads and exploring old cemeteries with her family on Sundays. Freedom residents know Bonnie as an artisan accomplished in many areas from ceramics, candlewicking, jewelry design, and more, but she has always loved photography since she was young. “Wanderings” is on display in the downstairs gallery during library hours.
