Rhonda Abbott, spends much of her time painting.  Her work, heavily influenced by the Russian artists, Igor Sakharov and Vladimir Volegov is figurative and expressive and oftentimes includes a reappearing, imaginary character she's named, "Mary Melindee".  Rhonda is passionate about art and is convinced that although it may not be innate to some people, it can still be taught to anyone if given the proper instruction.  Rhonda is happily married and enjoys animals, gardening, and spending time with her grandchildren.
