Mixed Media Artist * Author * Designer * Lover of Life * Magic Seeker
My style is abstract, whimsical, expressive, full of positive energy!
From layering to collaging, throwing ink around, painting with my fingers…
To creating digital art… my creativity has no bounds!
I hope to share with you the joy and peace I experience when creating 🙂

With all the fun art tools you can find these days, it's quite hard to resist getting lots of stencils, stamps, paints and so on and just let loose! This is what I felt like doing one day and so I set out to play with texture and colours to create an interesting...

"Love is in the Air'' is a mixed media (acrylic and colour pencils) piece I created while relaxing over the summer. I went away on a roadtrip with my partner Pete (whom I love very much!) along the east coast of Australia (between Sydney and Brisbane). The weather was...
I don't know about you but sometimes, I find colours that go well together without batting an eyelid and sometimes, it's hard to know which ones really complement each other! As an artist, I have some favourite combination of colours that I often use, for example, I...
Another spread in my art journal! I'm not sure why but the eyes I painted seem to be so full of underlying sadness... I wasn't planning to, it just happened! This prompted me to reflect on a few of my feelings and thoughts which are summed up in this lovely quote (by...
A few weeks ago I decided to start a new art journal... One can't have too many art journals, right??! Oh well, I have an A4 art journal and a baby art journal that is only A6 size (about 10 x 15 cm) so I had an excuse to get something in the middle! This one is a...
Sometimes an artist has to try new techniques... It helps us grow and more importantly... it's SO much fun!!! And so I decided to make my own acrylic paint sprays to create a funk, space-like background... I wanted a little colour and for the overall effect to be a...
I have officially made http://mimibondi.com my primary domain! It was long overdue but it is now the website address you need to use to find me;-) Things have moved around a little so if you encounter any issues at all, please notify me here, many thanks :)...

Over the last few days I have been working on a new painting which has ''something old and something new''.... I purchased Flora Bowley's book called ''Intuitive Painting'' a month ago and although I did not find a lot of new information (for me), I do recommend...
You know that feeling... when you get back to something you love doing and suddenly it feels like all is well once again and the planets have finally aligned?? I had not touched my paintbrushes much in the last few months, not because I didn't want to but because I...
I wanted to celebrate how beautiful and unique we all are! Sure we may all look a bit the same (we have arms, eyes, legs...) but no one can see what amazing treasures we have inside, unless, of course, we choose to we reveal and express them. My insides are made of...
We have all had our heart broken... at least once! When I remember my heartbreaks, it makes me feel a little sad but also appreciative of what I have experienced so far and of what I have now, a solid love that is strong and stable (for people around me but also for...
This is my first mixed media piece and I hope you like it! I have been fascinated by the wonderful work of so many artists out there and inspired to start my own. It wasn't after a lot of YouTube video watching and art supply researching that I decided to finally have...
