Ronda Waiksnis

Fading Light on Ebenezer River, Abstract Oil Painting

2025

Artist Comments
An abstract scene with a muted palette hints at a moment of transition or unrest. The dynamic brushwork and layered colors capture the turbulent atmosphere above a river, evoking a sense of movement and emotional intensity. As shapes dissolve and reemerge, chaos and calm exude from the composition.

About the Artist
Artist Ronda Waiksnis captures nature's visceral beauty in her abstract and expressionist works. Embracing the capriciousness of the creative process, she allows her intuition to guide her, resulting in pieces that feel both organic and unrefined. "My paintings have been found, not built," says Ronda. Rarely using brushes, she applies layers of paint with large palette knives or her fingers, emphasizing the importance of balancing creative abandon and physical control. Ronda operates in a gloriously messy studio, a standalone building behind her house, with a powerful sound system that keeps the vibe carefree and intense. When she's not creating art, Ronda enjoys spending time with her loved ones, playing with her dogs, and savoring a glass of wine.
