Rhonda Smith

I studied drawing and painting at Glasgow School of Art and have painted full-time since graduating almost 30 years ago. I have been an artist member of Paisley Art Institute for 25 years, serving on the committee for 4. My obsessions are water and the human figure. I use preliminary sketches to develop my work in the studio, building up layers of paint using a palette knife to create richly textured, expressive, semi-abstract images.
