Miki Boni’s art pieces are meant to be fun and whimsical, like a magical dream.
The 10 pieces she now has on display at Gallery 301 are about the magic of dreams and the places they can take you. There is no political or social commentary hidden in the images, she says, unless you see one.
“I wish I would (work from that standpoint) so I would seem like an intellectual, but I just love magical realism. The stuff you see in dreams,” she says.
“I will sit and have deep intellectual conversations with you, but with my paintings, I like to have fun.”
