Vonda Rainey has a beautiful way of communicating. As a licensed speech-language pathologist, she teaches others how to express their thoughts through words and other forms of communication, and as an artist, she lets her paintbrush do the talking.
“As a young girl I always loved to create art – mostly coloring and painting. I have also always been fascinated with communication and how important it is for an individual to be heard and understood by others,” Vonda says.
Like herself, Vonda’s work is full of energy and adventure. She enjoys interpreting her travel experiences on a canvas. “I would definitely say I am an explorer. I like to try new things and meet new people. I love to paint from my travel photos because in creating those travel-inspired paintings, it’s like taking the trip again, except without the expense, luggage and TSA!”
Vonda's works include a wide range of subjects, and she wouldn't have it any other way. "I love variety! I would become bored painting the same subject matter over and over, so I like to shake things up. I challenge myself by painting a variety of subjects, and I let the subject matter dictate which medium I choose for each painting.”
