Don’t miss this unique presentation!Silence of the Plains
A SOLO exhibition by Griffith artist Rhonda Miranda opens at the Balranald Gallery on Friday, April 8 at 2pm.
Rhonda’s oil paintings invite the viewer to discover the sublime beauty, stillness and tranquility of the Australian outback rural plains and waterways.
Born and having lived in Griffith most of her life Rhonda describes herself as a person of the plains. She attended lessons with fellow artists under the tutelage of Lance McNeill at ‘Abbotsford’ Ivanhoe for many years and became part of the group The Painters Of The Plains. Thanks to the generosity of the Turner family, the old homestead became a retreat for many artists for over 30 years and in this exhibition Rhonda, through her own compositions and expression, portrays a glimpse into a serene world of plains and waterways.
