Ascending is a hand-pulled print originally created using monotype, lithograph and collagraph print techniques. Rhonda created “Ascending” as her own unique and artistic expression for the rise of our humanity into a higher consciousness of LOVE. Inspired by the gnostic view that we must descend to ascend into our highest self, Rhonda uses the humpback whale as a symbol of that deep, unconditional love we as humans can possess within each of us, uniquely. Even the darkest souls are able to bring forth the greatest light to help raise the frequency of our Mother Earth and all its inhabitants by merely uniting in compassion to help sing home those who have lost their way. The humpback whale has an enormous song to match their hearts and their heartbeat or heart pulse can be felt around the world and in their ancient ways, these gentle giants connect us to the Spiritual world. We face, as a collective humanity on earth, two paths of destiny; one is to rise up or ascend into love, or, continue to lose our humanness and surrender to greed, hate and the world of destruction with no compassion. Whales remind us of our love of nature and more importantly, we feel a deep connection to their rugged natural beauty and feel their majesty as they move around the planet connecting us all. Humpback Whales are not just nature’s beauty, they are magical and altruistic beings and they’re helping to sing us all home, they are making waves of pure love that open our hearts to our highest calling of unconditional love. We are the earth family and we will unite in peace and love to save our Mother Earth, her Oceans and these benevolent creatures. We are Nature!!
 
Rhonda was born and raised in St. John’s, Newfoundland. In 2005, she moved to Perth, Western Australia and has been living there ever since. A permanent resident of Australia, Rhonda has a strong connection to the Australian people, many whom she feels has become her second family, especially for her children. Rhonda worked passionately with nature both on the Land and in the Ocean, enjoys working with Children in reading, writing, math, and across all learning areas, especially the arts. In 2016, she heard the call of her creative passion and learned the art and skills of printmaking. This continues up to present day, in particular, Rhonda has connected deeply on a heart level with whales, which has now become part of her life mission: To work with the community, and by extension the entire world, to help raise our collective consciousness in order to restore our natural role as custodians of this beautiful planet Earth, our home we share with all of God’s creatures. Thank you for supporting my dream!
