About the artist

RHONDA URDANG is an independent studio artist working across multiple disciplines.

Her thought-provoking artworks have been shown extensively in regional, national, and international group shows in 40 states. Rhonda received her BFA with an emphasis in painting from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and later worked as a journeyman color separation artist in Phoenix, retouching high-fashion catalogs for Anne Klein, Ann Taylor, Bergdorf Goodman, Bonwit Teller, Estee Lauder, and Neiman Marcus. 

She is looking forward to the Full Strong Sun Moon in Sagittarius (fire sign) on Saturday, June 3, at 8:41 p.m. MST.  June's full moon is called the Full Strawberry Moon because of the strawberries ripening at this time.  Since the moon is a symbol of our inner emotional world, stargazers and lunar watchers will enjoy the warmer weather and embrace the seasonal shift while ringing in the summer with another beautiful full moon.  The Celtic Tree Month of Oak begins on Saturday, June 10.  Litha/ Summer Solstice will be on June 21, as the Sun enters Cancer.  Rhonda's original femmage will debut in The 134th Annual NAWA Members Exhibition at ONE ART SPACE (Tribeca Arts District), 23 Warren Street, New York, NY.  Official start date for this show is June 16 and will run through July 1.
