Rhonda Manlove McKinnonNothing leaves its imprint on one's soul like nature and all its bounty. Having spent a lifetime painting landscapes, beginning with her grandparents' midwest farm and currently capturing children/grandchildren at play, nature's bounty is the inspiraion that fills Rhonda's spirit and compels her to share, through paper and paint, a visual legacy of all that is good and beautiful in the world. After earning her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Missouri, she went on to use her creative talents in the field of graphic design. Later in her career she and her husband moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico where they owned/operated a picture framing business while continuing to hone her artistic skill set. Rhonda has spent years painting throughout the midwest, California and New Mexico and now lives with her husband and two dogs in a small picturesque historic town in Missouri where she is surrounded by farmland and the fond memories of the precious time spent with family and friends and the lasting impressions they have left. Pulling from these memories and her travels to the great lakes, Rhonda is able to capture the serenity and beauty of Lake Michigan and the thrill children experience on the beach. Read More Read Less
