| Art has always been a part of who Rhea is. She chose to be primarily a self taught artist, with an upbringing in both NY and California, has visited most western and eastern United States, and most recently took an ACIS trip to Greece and Italy with her son. All of what an artist sees effects their ideas and the result of their work. Rhea is a studio artist which allows the time for the fascinating details that are the foundation of what we cherish in our lands. Also enthusiastic as a plain air artist, her brush flows loosely to capture the essence of the day and place that is inspiring her and the treasures we all share and need to care for. As a natural result of time spent traveling through and studying the lush beauty and open mountain top views that are characteristic of the Adirondacks, the resulting quality of her work is her own vision, but has been compared to Hudson River School artists. | Her work has been exhibited at the Adirondack Rustic Expo for the past 5 years, winning Peoples Choice Award for 2005, Southern Adirondack Art Show, Blue Mountain Lake during the Adirondack Rustic Furniture Fair, Lake Placid Lodge, Old Forge Center for the Arts, and the Adirondack Living Show. In addition, her work embellished award winning “Best Adirondack Furniture” at the Western Design Conference 2005 in Cody, Wyoming. Rhea’s original paintings and giclee prints are sought by collectors throughout the United States. Originals are best acquired by commission, attending shows or Adirondack Rustics Gallery. Prints may be seen at Adirondack Rustic Gallery, Adirondack Museum Store in Lake Placid and Blue Mountain, Blue Mountain Design, and Jean Sweet Interiors. She has lived at the foothills of the Adirondacks for the past 27 years, an area that is only 5 minutes to three hours from any of her favorite Adirondack Mountain sites. | ||||||||||||||||||
