Top of the World 2 shows a twilight vista of downtown Los Angeles as seen from the top of the tallest building in LA. Even far above the street, Bonnie Lambert could hear the low roar of rush hour traffic. The city seems to go on forever, but then disappears into the setting sun.

My Artistic Inspiration—
Lambert is an oil painter passionate about bold colors and deep contrast. Her palette is bright and her brushstrokes are expressive. Southern California is alive with inspiration for Lambert’s paintings—cities, mountains, deserts, ocean. She always tries to look at the world around her with fresh eyes, and she invites her audience to do the same.

As an oil painter, I am inspired by intense color and deep contrast reflected through urban landscapes. I have a vivid childhood memory of seeing the aurora borealis, like a living creature, twisting over the black winter night sky above my Wisconsin home. Twenty-five years ago I moved to Southern California. The colossal scale of this city with its fluid light, contrasting landscapes, and passionate mix of cultures challenged me visually. The exotic extremes in Los Angeles opened wide my eyes and my heart. Now, using a vibrant palette and expressive brushstrokes, I strive to capture an essence of Southern Calfornia—light, earth and people— mirrored by this transcendent city.
