Glam by Bonniediva (Gurnee, Illinois, USA)

Mail art by IUOMA member Bonniediva (Gurnee, Illinois, USA)

May 13, 2017 - I am thrilled to share the first mail I have received from Bonniediva, originally from New Orleans but now living outside Chicago, USA. 

I settled on calling this work “glam.” In actuality, Bonniediva defies artistic categories. She’s a little vintage, a little retro, a little Pop, a little DaDa and mostly none of the above. At first – when I saw the Gurnee, Illinois address (but not the collage) – I assumed this was yet another Diane Keys impersonator (many of them about these days!) or a Diane Keys prank. But again, Bonniediva proves to be a total original with no connection to the Kulter hordes. Keep an eye on her!

Bike-a-delic! Thank you, Bonniediva.
