"Ronda Waiksnis' works are beautiful and evocative - innovative, yet rooted in tradition - and demonstrate great depth of feeling, vision and technique. Through her passionate quest to capture the moods of nature, she sensitively echoes significant landscape painters from the Romantics through Abstract Expressionism. Her creative paint application rewards the eye with rich textures, crowned by provocative skies. Her paintings capture evanescent movement. constructed with an original, instinctual vision."
C. Goebel, Professor of Art History
Process, Methods and Inspirations:
The utter capriciousness of the creative process is one I welcome and embrace. There's something about letting go to that intuitive evolution that transfers to the finished painting. Without question, the physical act of painting is crucial for the finished work. I stand, moving back and forth, trying to maintain that ideal balance between creative abandon and physical control. For me, it takes these actions to make a beautiful, finished painting that remains somewhat organic and unrefined.
I'd like the viewer to bring his or her own impressions or reflections to the painting without being taken there directly, by me.
Striving for work that is emotive, visceral and expressive, my interpretations of our natural surroundings is more of a feeling than a strict observation. R. Waiksnis
