Rhonda ~ Rhonda Simmons ALTERED ANYTHING Vancouver BC

Rhonda Simmons is an Afro-Canadian Mixed media Artist. Rhonda began her walk on the artists path early on in life, "I knew I loved art and the people who made it". "I was sure that's what I wanted to do was create" and create she does. Her vibrant colors, textures and soulful work mirror her dancing lively spirit. The work itself honors her life, her struggles, her joys, her passions. The work is about her relationship with life, with herself and with others. Whatever the media, it is deeply personal, like an invitation, it draws you in to meet the artist at her core. The work empowers her. A beacon for women looking to find their power, Rhonda has found hers, within herself. This healing, loving spirit within her makes powerful pieces. While they are about her, they are from a shared experience, other women can embrace aspects of Rhonda's journey. Community is her most important creation. Supporting and caring for herself and for other women and caring for herself and for other women as they also go along their own stretch of road, somehow it is those forks in the road that replenish and nourish the soul for everyone fortunate enough to be part of that fabric of community Rhonda has stitched together.
