She spent significant time in France, where she studied with Edouard-Henri Leon, one of France's renowned engravers. By 1925, she was exhibiting with the foremost French etchers in two salons of the Society of French Artists. Bonner was active in the San Antonio Art League and maintained studios there and in Paris, France.
