Rhonda Deland is an artist living in Montauk, New York. Originally from Huntington Beach, California, she grew up as a competitive figure skater, dancer, doodler and lover of all things design. She left home at 18 to attend Ithaca College in NY where she received her BA in communications and design. The next 2 decades formed her career as an art director/graphic designer in advertising and retail for brands like Saks Fifth Avenue, Avon, KitchenAid and Victorias Secret.
She went back to art school at the New York Academy of Art in Tribeca to continue her art education in 2017/18. Soon after she moved her family to Montauk. Rhonda’s painting style slowly developed into what it is today; fluid, marble watercolor paintings, rich in color and texture, using geometric shapes and patterns, heavily influenced by her travels and love of architecture and interior design.
artist statement. “my artwork is rooted in graphic design, guided by natural elements and formed into textural, geometric motifs heavily influenced by marble patterns used in old architecture and modern interior design.”
