“What is printmaking like on the other side of the world?”
—Bonnie Baxter, Turkish Delights, 1998
“Not having grown up under the sway of the Riopelle mystique I was used to relating to Jean-Paul the man, whom I ate and drank and worked with, over the practical details of executing his extraordinary work.”
—Bonnie Baxter, Jean Paul-Riopelle and I: Impression passagère, 2010

Bonnie Baxter looks across the table at me with a twinkle in her eye. Her cropped hair, which she’s recently dyed highlighter yellow, adds to her playful air. The brightly patterned blanket she’s thrown over her shoulders to keep warm in the studio fits effortlessly with her leopard-print leggings. With her socks and Birkenstocks, there’s no one cooler than the queen of cool.
