Rhonda Paisley

Rhonda was educated at Bloomfield Collegiate Grammar School and acheived her degree of BA Fine Art at Bob Jones University, USA.

Rhonda says of her work: 'I almost always used mixed media. I will use anything that allows me to best describe to the viewer what it is about the subject that I am seeking to record or pass on to them. I like to play with the paint, to enjoy the unexpected and to push the limits of experimentation in my work. Sometimes this is disastrous, sometimes it is great. Happy accidents have often led to my best work. I think it is important to always have passion when you are working. If the painter is not excited about the subject, how will the viewer be inspired? I would rather have the viewer dislike what they see than feel nothing.'
