Artist Rhonda Egan Biography

Rhonda Egan has had a love of drawing since she was a child. She still remembers the day her uncle showed her how to shade and make things look round. After that, she was eager to learn more about drawing and art. Her formal education began in high school and has continued throughout her adult life. She has studied under several artists, including: Susan Sarback, Ian Roberts, J. Randall Sexton, Gretchen Ryan, Anthony Rossi, Walt Sorenson, Reif Ericson, Laurie Kersey, Tim Horn and John Michael Carter, to name a few.

Rhonda is a member of the Northern California Artists, through which she has earned Master Artist status. She regularly enters juried art shows and has won several awards. She has been accepted into the State Fair, Napa Valley Museum and recently won an award of excellence at the Marg Long Memorial Membership Show. Her work has regularly been accepted in both the Crocker Museum and KVIE annual auctions. In 2009, she participated in the 50-50 Show at 20th Street Gallery in Sacramento, Winters Paint the Town, Ironstone Winery and the Los Gatos Plein Air Festival. Images of her work appear in Capturing Radiant Light & Color in Oils and Pastels, by Susan Sarback and Finding Your Visual Voice, by Dakota Mitchell with Lee Haroun. Both were published in 2007 by North Light Books.

Rhonda is at the Wine Gallery on Sutter Street in Folsom. She loves to paint landscapes and figures and is happiest being able to combine both.
