Artwork Story

Rhonda was born and grew up in Alice Springs. Previously Rhonda has made necklaces and produced some paintings. However more recently she has discovered an interest and passion for making soft sculptures. Her inspiration for her camels, come from seeing them running wild on the South Road out of town when she was a child. She also produces birds, dolls, echidnas and anything else that might reflect life in and around Alice Springs. Rhonda has found that the art room gives her a place to be safe and to make a better future for herself. Rhonda says that sewing makes her feel happy and that she is proud of the work she creates.
