Denise J. Bonaimo creates jewelry from a vast array of materials from precious metals and gemstones to re-purposed found objects, such as vintage board games and antique metal. The majority of her jewelry, as well as her fine art photography, is showcased in Studio 27 at the Art Studios at Spanish Village Art Center in Balboa Park. This Brooklyn girl, by way of the Jersey shore, participates in several art gallery exhibitions each year and is active in promoting the thriving San Diego art scene.

With a strong aspiration to share her knowledge of jewelry making with others, Bonaimo offers several jewelry classes and workshops for adults, children and seniors in the comfort of your own home or at Studio 27 in Spanish Village Art Center as well as: North Park’s San Diego Art Department, San Diego City College Continuing Education, Grossmont Unified Adult Center, Fallbrook School of the Arts, UCSD Craft Center and other locations in San Diego County and beyond. A former Girl Scout, herself, she is also a  certified Girl Scouts of America collaborator instructing young ladies at a special rate.

Bonaimo has even made a few television appearances on the CW's "San Diego Living" demonstrating her techniques in jewelry making and promoting her ongoing classes. In addition, she is available for guest speaking, jewelry demonstrations and art show jury panels.
