Rhonda Nolan is an illustrator and artist living in Toronto. She comes from a graphic design background, including papermaking, card design and bookarts. She has designed greeting cards for distribution in Canada and the US as well as invitations for corporate and private functions .Her work has been commissioned by private industry, small and corporate businesses over the years.For her illustrations and her art, she uses mixed media - fluid paint and collage, layered with glazes. She also likes to use found objects in her work.
She is a firm believer in self expression through illustrated journaling. This has led to the development and facilitation of journaling with paint workshop. Her conviction that this method of expression can lead to a healthier, happier life is borne of her own personal exploration of inner self, and the resulting new energy and creative spirit.
She has been involved in organizing arts events in different communities over the years: the Junction Arts Festival in Toronto, and the Little Arts Show in Riverdale, Toronto. She has served as a board member for the Junction Forum for Arts and Culture, for her own community.
As part of her belief that everyone should have the opportunity to express themselves through art, she co-ordinates an art program for the homeless in Toronto's inner city. From this she derives much inspiration and joy.
