In Paris, Bonner began entering her work in juried exhibitions, and these early Paris prints were met with some acclaim. She came into her own when she began experimenting with a more innovative and modern style, exemplified by \u003ci\u003eLes cowboys\u003c\/i\u003e, a three-part frieze inspired by memories of her family's ranch in Texas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter several years of dedicated study in Paris, Bonner began splitting her time between San Antonio and Paris. By 1928 she had begun to take on the causes of art and conservation in San Antonio, devoting less time to her own work. She spent the last years of her life at the family residence in San Antonio and died in 1935 at age forty-eight. Bonner's legacy, both as an accomplished artist and as a steadfast advocate for the arts, lives on, especially in San Antonio. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Bonner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is copublished with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Villa Finale.
