Her paintings show her love of color and design, as well as her interest in portraiture. The use and control of brilliant hues convey energy and passion. She delights in symbolism. These works have a Caribbean flavor.
Her clay figures are chunky and purposeful.
Her works capture the resilience of the human spirit and her acceptance of her role as artist/teacher.Bristolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08413624387709147730noreply@blogger.comBlogger181100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563315468280453352.post-77706167610638173242008-01-30T16:24:00.000-08:002008-01-30T16:29:17.848-08:00INSPIRATIONS EXHIBIT 2008<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/R6EV06H3v_I/AAAAAAAAAEY/EXLKxJOdy7o/s1600-h/Rhonda2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161430646642950130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/R6EV06H3v_I/AAAAAAAAAEY/EXLKxJOdy7o/s320/Rhonda2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/R6EVT6H3v-I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/CmQHM2v5oN4/s1600-h/Rhonda.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8563315468280453352-7770616761063817324?l=bristolart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bristolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08413624387709147730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563315468280453352.post-78034047793176166132008-01-30T16:18:00.000-08:002008-01-30T16:20:37.099-08:00INSPIRATIONS EXHIBIT 2008<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/R6ET36H3v6I/AAAAAAAAADw/8B4jdxI37ZE/s1600-h/Rhonda3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161428499159302050" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/R6ET36H3v6I/AAAAAAAAADw/8B4jdxI37ZE/s320/Rhonda3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong>Sing Song A La Romare</strong> (mixed medium)</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8563315468280453352-7803404779317616613?l=bristolart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bristolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08413624387709147730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563315468280453352.post-30698773639823424402008-01-30T15:58:00.000-08:002008-01-30T16:17:53.698-08:00INSPIRATIONS EXHIBIT 2008<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/R6ES3aH3v5I/AAAAAAAAADo/YicWuLdTBuI/s1600-h/Rhonda4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161427391057739666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/R6ES3aH3v5I/AAAAAAAAADo/YicWuLdTBuI/s320/Rhonda4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/R6EPzKH3v4I/AAAAAAAAADg/EjUbSjVk0HQ/s1600-h/100_1043.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div><strong>Nika's World A La Romare</strong> </div><div>by R.Bristol</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8563315468280453352-3069877363982342440?l=bristolart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bristolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08413624387709147730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563315468280453352.post-79254142281626620512007-05-22T20:04:00.000-07:002007-05-22T20:06:39.395-07:00THROUGH OUR EYES 2007<a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/RlOvl26gwwI/AAAAAAAAADY/AXAf-lntIbk/s1600-h/100_1876.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5067587070652891906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/RlOvl26gwwI/AAAAAAAAADY/AXAf-lntIbk/s320/100_1876.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8563315468280453352-7925414228162662051?l=bristolart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bristolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08413624387709147730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563315468280453352.post-49065174796896960582007-04-17T04:58:00.000-07:002007-04-17T05:06:03.677-07:00<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/RiS2xWBDjpI/AAAAAAAAAC4/p2i3bKGEjoQ/s1600-h/RB+Mask.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054365640656391826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_9D-kHe2s9I4/RiS2xWBDjpI/AAAAAAAAAC4/p2i3bKGEjoQ/s200/RB+Mask.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"> You'll see that I often work with themes - as do many artists.
