Pleasanton Artist to be Featured at The San Ramon Art & Wind Festival

Pleasanton artist Rhonda Chase has been selected to be this year’s featured artist at The San Ramon Art & Wind Festival in May. As the featured artist, she has created a unique and vibrant fine art illustration that captures the spirit of the festival and will be displayed at the Lindsay Dirkx Brown Art Gallery during the festival month. This piece, titled On the Wings of Butterflies, will then become part of San Ramon’s permanent art collection. 

In addition to commissioned artwork for the festival, Rhonda will have a featured artist’s solo exhibition of over 50 pieces of her original artwork at the Lindsay Dirkx Brown Art Gallery from May 2nd - May 30th. She will also have a reception on Sunday, May 19th from 1pm-3pm, and a poster signing during the Art & Wind Festival on Monday, May 27th from 1pm-3pm. 

Rhonda’s newest body of work is an eye-catching mixed media amalgam of old and new styles. Her fine art illustrations largely begin as traditional pen and ink drawings on paper, which are then colored and completed digitally, all by hand, and printed on metal. “I’ve been working in pen and ink my whole life and am a Photoshop expert so it feels natural that this is where my artistic journey has led.” 

Rhonda describes her newest work as “...semi-abstract and semi-fantasy. It is extremely happy, uses a vibrant palette, and is deeply in sync with my love of nature.” She continues, “ What excites me now as an artist is sharing beauty, and being a gentle, uplifting advocate for the environment. My subject matter often comes from nature: lemon trees and sunflowers, hummingbirds and dragonflies. I also like to portray other snippets of life that bring us joy like music and dance, or for the Art & Wind Festival, flying a kite.” Along with her bold, full-color pieces, Rhonda will display some of her black and white drawings. She wants people to see the progression of how her art gets created. 

Rhonda’s show will have several dozen bold, colorful pieces, some painting and photography, and maybe a few surprises in the showcases.
