Bonnie Lambert is a reserved artist who spreads her creativity and her love for the urban culture through her oil paintings. When it comes to her identity, she never speaks of it.

Just by looking at some of the art you can hear the noise of the busy streets, the murmur of a crowd, beach waves, and the blowing of winds.
