After a recent trip to the tropics, I was inspired by lily Ponds and Dragonflies, for this small series of work. While there, I made studies, en plein air, and then returned to my studio in Orange to work from these, my memory and my sensory reactions of this place. These works are using acrylics, ink and pastels on canvas.

Rhonda graduated from the National Art School & Alexander Mackie College in Sydney, Australia. She then taught art in Australia & later design in London. Her career took a complete change & the next 25 years were spent in Fashion & Design.

Since retiring in 2000 Rhonda has taken up the paint brush again. She draws significant influence from her travels, in Outback Australia, also Europe & Asia. With an interest in colour, texture & mark making Rhonda’s works are built up with multiple layers, often scratching back those layers, particularly when working in oil, pigment & cold wax. She loves the spontaneity & “happy accidents” which occur when working in this way.

Rhonda has more recently taken a new direction in Abstraction – a memory of her subject (landscape or still life). Even though abstracted, the works often retain an echo of that subject.

She says, “many ideas & images pass through my mind as I paint but nothing else exists when I do, I’m totally absorbed in my work”.
