Featured Instructor: Rhonda Chase

Rhonda Chase

Always an artist, I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t drawing, painting or building something. I find both joy and comfort in creating things. When I was 15 I had my first showing of drawings in a New York gallery. I received my BFA from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and then worked in a NYC ad agency. Over the next 10 years I found myself doing just about everything art related you could imagine; trade show design, murals, book illustration, medical illustration, teaching art, fine art shows and private commissions, graphic design. I ultimately settled into corporate graphic design, starting my own firm and working for clients like Intel and Wells Fargo.

After another decade I longed to get away from my computer and get my hands on my art again. I discovered jewelry making about 5 years ago and have been designing and creating wire jewelry ever since. I’m proud to have won many awards for my jewelry designs and currently show in a number of galleries in the San Francisco Bay Area. I live in northern California with my husband, two kids, two cats and a huge dog.
