Meet and greet amazing local author of the memoir ‘Luv, Bonnie’ Bonnie Salkow, and artist Knucci, and get a signed copy of this inspiring story. Both artist and author inspire others through their work, and this book would make a great gift for any book lover.
Bonnie Salkow is the author of Luv, Bonnie A Memoir. Her heartfelt and insightful story uplifts readers with her message of hope and change. Baring it all with gripping honesty, she slays alcoholism, drugs, s*x and love addiction, eating disorders and mental health issues while engaging her readers through her emotional journey.
A native New Yorker, she adores musical theatre and has danced and pranced in Miami most of her life where she currently resides with her favorite four-legged companion Luna, her Teacup Yorkie
Joseph Franco, professionally known as Knucci (pronounced New-Chi), is a contemporary self taught artist born in 1991 in New York City. His signature work involves colorful symbolism with references to finding inner freedom as well as growing through life’s challenges. In 2018, Knucci was involved in a tragic car accident where a pedestrian was killed. He spent 2 years in House Arrest, during which he worked extensively on his art and produced close to 50 large scale paintings. During this time, he exhibited his work at the Mario Testino Museum in Peru as well as at the Gallart Gallery in North Miami Beach. Knucci subsequently spent 2 and a half years in prison during which time he developed his artistic talent by working primarily with pen and paper and through collaborations with other artists in prison.
While in Prison, Knucci also helped to establish Miami Mind, an organization that helps people tackle mental health issues, while also attempting to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health. Knucci donates 10% of his net proceeds to this organization.
Knucci currently resides in Miami, Florida and works out of his art studio in North Miami.
