Bonnie Bronson (1940–1990)[1] was an American painter and sculptor and one of Portland, Oregon's most prominent artists during the 1970s–1980s.[1] Randal Davis said that her work showed "an abiding love for the sheer beauty of materials and a fascination with unusual structures and systems."[2]
Bronson was born in Portland in 1940, and attended the University of Kansas, the University of Oregon, and the Portland Art Museum School.[3] She married sculptor Lee Kelly in 1961.[2] After their Portland home and studio were heavily damaged in the Columbus Day Storm of 1962, they purchased a former dairy farm outside of Oregon City, where they spent the rest of their lives. They had one child together Jason who died of leukemia in 1978.[3] In 1990, Bronson died at age 50 in a mountaineering accident on Mazama Glacier on Mount Adams, Washington.[3] An award in her name, the Bonnie Bronson Fellowship, is presented to one Pacific Northwest artist each year.[4]
