Rhonda Hodge is a Brisbane based artist that worked for many years in industry as a graphic designer before returning to University to achieve her Masters of Creative Arts degree. She said it took her from creating designs under the direction and approval of others to creating her own unique art giving her an incredible sense of freedom to explore her own style and interests.
She has had the privilege of studying her craft abroad in Germany and America and exhibiting both locally and overseas. Many of her artworks have been sold and commissioned for both public and private collections.
She continues to look for new challenges and often finds her creative journey taking her to emotionally surprising places with each new project stretching her to create new stories through artistic expression. She says:
"My aim is to make art that evokes an emotional connection for the viewer. I seek to engage the audience in an immersive experience, particularly around the concept of belief structures and spirituality. I want to provide a sensory engagement for the onlooker by using ambiguous symbolism offering multiple interpretations that often relate to questions around our purpose here on earth”
