Known for her etchings of Texas cowboys and the only noted early 20th-century woman popularizing Texas subjects, Mary Bonner was born in Bastrop, Louisiana but lived most of her life in San Antonio with long periods of time in Paris, France. She learned first hand about Texas cowboys and their lives, and this inspired her artwork, which brought her much acclaim.
