Rhonda Smith has been immersed in visual study all her life. She graduated from St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY, and studied at the School of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Cooperativa Mosaicisti, Ravenna Italy. She is currently a member of the Kingston Gallery, Boston, MA, the Pell Lucy Collective/Shim Art Network, and on the board of Transcultural Exchange. Until about seven years ago she was a painter but now has devoted herself to sculpture and installation. Her work incorporates her abiding love of science, the land and water, and the sacred. The idea in science that any dynamic system can be in a state of disequilibrium is an underlying concept in her work and process. Of particular concern now is that our planet has lost its wild spaces, we are in a continual state of displacement, and too many species have disappeared. She has had many ecology -based one person shows and participated in a large number of group shows, especially concerned with the planet, mapping, earth sciences and loss of habitat. Her work has been seen in Boston, MA, New York, NY, Maine, London, and Tokyo and is in many corporate collections, including a major international tech firm.
