Art at OzSBI ~ Artist Rhonda Richter (sponsored by Council on the Arts)

Local artist Rhonda Richter’s artwork will be featured on OzSBI’s first floor from the beginning of July through the end of September 2024. The West Plains Council on the Arts (WPCA) and Ozarks Small Business Incubator (OzSBI) have partnered to bring quarterly art displays to the incubator.  Visitors may view the display at the incubator during OzSBI’s business hours, anytime between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Rhonda Richter enjoys painting from life. Directly engaging with her subject matter requires navigating rapidly changing light. The challenge of painting quickly in changing conditions contributes to an expressive style. Bold color and brushwork emphasize visual movement within emotionally structured compositions.

Richter completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Missouri, extensive course work at Johannes Gutenberg University/ Mainz and a Master’s degree at Southwest Baptist University. During the past 12 years, Richter has won numerous awards at Plein Air events throughout the Midwest. Her works can be viewed on the website at https://www.rhondarichter.com/

A Meet-the-Artist event will be held on Thursday, August 8, 2024, 2-4 p.m. in OzSBI’s lobby at 408 Washington Ave. in West Plains. The public is invited to attend to meet Richter and view and discuss the pieces on display.
