Ronda Waiksnis Original Fine Art

     With hundreds of her paintings placed in corporate settings and private collections worldwide, Ronda Waiksnis's painted skies are gaining a devoted following. Her passion for the outdoors, particularly our skies, inspires her artistic direction.  She studied Fine Arts at the university level. 

     Preferring the richness and sensuousness of oils, Waiksnis paints skyscapes on a grand scale on canvases as large as five feet. The movement, diverse colors and immense power of our skies is a fascinating subject and one she never tires of painting. Using large brushes, palette knives and sometimes her fingers, Ronda is a direct application painter, mixing the colors directly on the canvas. Striving for a bold, fresh look her interpretations of her natural surroundings is more of a feeling than actual interpretation. 

      She continues to work full time in the countryside where she lives and enjoys the ever changing skies overhead as she paints in her studio with the company of her two dogs, Luna & Bear.

"...if I've been given a creative purpose, I believe it is to paint our expansive, commanding skies. It's the power, the turbulence, the movement, and the fast changing colors I most like to articulate.  To this end, I often use large house painting brushes, prefer a larger canvas, and sometimes paint the stormiest skies with the canvas turned upside down. I begin with a fairly strict idea of where I'm going; then, somewhere during the process, I cut myself loose. I love the energetic, raw emotion this gives a painting." R. Waiksnis

"After nearly three decades of collecting Art, I had the good fortune to discover Ms. Waiksnis. Her work is visionary: Her enormous skies possess a depth and power unrivaled in the art world."
