Bonnie Murphy DeWolf is a native of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and currently splits her time between her homes in Kitty Hawk, NC, and Jensen Beach, FL.  She took several art classes in high school and then she studied art under noted acrylic artist Barclay Sheaks for one year at Virginia Wesleyan College.  Due to her serious self-doubt in her artistic skills she transferred to Old Dominion University where she received a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.  After retiring from a 32-year career working with computer systems for the US Navy and US Coast Guard, she rediscovered her love for art, started taking painting classes, and began painting more seriously.
