Exhibition in the Art Hall: January 22 – March 8, 2024

Artists: Ronda Bryce, Vicki Greene, Joni Vanover

Ronda Bryce Bio:

Ronda Bryce has maintained a love of art throughout consecutive careers as a medical technologist, stay-at-home mom, and church administrative assistant. The nudge toward artistic endeavors culminated in the 60’s (her 60’s not the 1960’s.) She is grateful to now be able to pursue art full-time. Ronda is primarily self-taught supplemented by classes and workshops throughout the years. She is a member of the North Augusta Artist Guild. Ronda works in watercolor, pen-and-ink, and graphite. Ronda’s hope is to use the gift of art to thank God for the beauty He has placed in the world because of the great love He has for us.

Joni Vanover Bio:

Joan was raised in Savannah, Georgia. Her mother was an artist in Savannah, and Joni developed the love of art, painting beside her mother. Joni attended Vanderbilt University and received her degree in education from Georgia Southern University. Teaching first grade was her love and priority. She used her art in all aspects of the curriculum. Painting on canvas and creating various subjects became a joyful experience. Joan studied art with Freeman Schoolcraft, Linelle Widener, Barbara Whetstone Fox, Charlene Montgomery, Billie Jean Powell and Kathy Marbury, as well as various professors at the University.

Her paintings are joyful and colorful. Many subjects reflect Augusta, Georgia and low country scenes. Joni uses photos that she takes in her travels. Her imagination of how color interacts in life, play a great part in the interpretation of the painting. Joni enjoys interacting with other artists and critiquing each other.

“An artist never stops learning. Art is everywhere.”
