More about Ronda:
Ronda began her art interest when she was in middle school and high school, followed rapidly by the School of architecture, art and Design at the University of Cincinnati, where she received her BFA with a dual major in Art Education and Painting.
After graduating, Ronda pursued a career in commercial arts, worked a an art director for several publications, became the youngest teacher of art and design at Sinclair College, and opened and ran her own advertising agency. A few years later and upon the sale of her advertising agency, she relocated to Los Angeles. Even after her move, Ronda continued teaching and working as a product designer and art illustrator.
It wasn't until she pursued her master's degree in Visual Art with a Concentration in Painting at California Sate University, Northridge, that she finally dedicated herself to creating her own expressive work, using a wide range of art-making techniques.
After 12 years of the California art scene, Ronda relocated to Orlando. Florida. she continued to teach at the college and university levels, worked as a product and fashion designer, opened her own gallery where she gave more than forty local artists and several internationally known artists the opportunity to exhibit alongside her. She closed the gallery at the end of 2012 so she could pursue her own work full time.
Since then, she has shown nationally and internationally, and continues to create her paintings and ceramics, and promote other artists, as well. She also loves music and has recently added drums to the long list of instruments she plays. "You've got to take a change on new things," she says, which is a motto that she lives by.
Ronda also believes in giving back to her community, and she's honored to have been selected twice to be the poster artist for Florida Hospital's Art of Healing Gallery. Her artwork graces the walls of many prestigious private collectors' homes throughout the U.S., Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom. She and her husband reside in Ocala, FL.
