Bonnie Hinz

 

Minneapolis, MN

Bonnie Hinz, a Minnesota artist, is known nationally for her glass and metal wall installations and sculptures.

 

Before beginning her life as an artist, she had a successful career as an interior designer.  Just for fun, she took a beginning glass blowing class at a college in the Twin Cities.  She found it fascinating--and she was hooked.  For several years, she took classes while still working full-time in interior design.  In 2004, she made the switch--she built her own glass studio and became a full-time artist.

 

Around the same time, she became interested in combining glass with metal work.  She took a number of classes offered through the Guild of Metalsmiths to develop and refine her skills in metal working.

 

Bonnie is fascinated with the way dissimilar materials work in harmony with one another.  The fragile, organic nature of glass is a counterpoint to the industrial, durable strength of metal.  Both materials are formed by heat and fire, but the resulting elements are vastly different.  She combines the two into seamlessly integrated art.

 

As a former interior designer, she has a natural affinity with color.   Her designs swirl with layers of bright and arresting colors.

 

Her inspiration comes from diverse organic shapes--from leaves, flowers and pods to the gracefully curving lines of grasses, roots and trees.

 

With her unique combination of glass and metal art, Bonnie has created art installations for medical buildings, hotels, offices, and many other public settings, as well as private homes, all around the United States.
