NOTE:
"I first heard of Bonnie O'Boyle as the 'mysterious' woman who wore a hat with a large brim and had showed up at The Phillips Mill Art Exhibition to purchase one of my paintings. Needless to say, I was intrigued. In the years since, I got to know her through numerous visits to my studio. Invariably stylish and elegant, she was at the same time robust and down to earth - and intensely funny! I loved our chats together and will forever be honored by her unrelenting support of my work."
