Artist Talk: Rhonda Smith and Wendy Seller

Join Rhonda Smith, Main Gallery artist, and Wendy Seller, Project Space artist, as they discuss their November exhibitions at Kingston Gallery. Mary Sherman from the Transcultural Exchange will also be in attendance to share information about the March 2025 conference.

Undiscovered Country by Rhonda Smith derives from various influences: sea tales, myths, poems, industrial and natural elements, medieval imagery, photographs, and contemporary statistics. These influences emerge during the creation of each piece. Rhonda Smith relies on the tactile process of shaping, molding, and assembling materials to give form to her ideas. Initial concepts often remain skeletal or merely impulsive, while the true essence of a piece develops through the tactile process of listening to what her hands transmute.

Hybridized Worlds by Wendy Seller explores the fusion of traditional painting techniques and digital image-building. Wendy Seller embraces these polar-opposite artmaking approaches to create intangible hybridized worlds that integrate past and present, populated by magical figures and surreal landscapes. Seller developed this technique with Photoshop when an inherited “essential hand tremor” made it extremely difficult for her to write or paint any longer. Her digital collages evolve from a myriad of sources, including her own photography, Renaissance paintings, and current-day catalogs or magazines.
