Todd Bonita earned his BFA with honors from the Art Institute of Boston in 1996 and continued his study of classical painting and drawing at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia .  He has been working professionally as a painter, sculptor, muralist, illustrator and designer for over ten years, creating works for Disney, MTV, Random House, Simon and Schuster and most of the major book publishers, appearing in over thirty published books.  His wall art, sculptures and designs can be found in all fifty states and in Canada .

Todd Bonita’s recent series of boat paintings uses simple composition and bold design to help reveal the unique character, emotional spirit and mythical narrative of these time-honored subjects.  Todd and some of these paintings will be part of a featured article on “Boat Stories” in the September/October issue of Pacific Yachting magazine.
