Rhona Emmerson
An accomplished oil painter, Rhona is featuring works with a new technique working for her: Bermuda scenic pieces painted in oils with a platte knife only. Plenty of texture and bold use of colour makes this new show collection very different from her traditional style. This new body of work is developed from a combination of plein air studies and studio work.
