Rhonda Gunaikurnai people

Rhonda is a proud Gunaikurnai artist who began her journey with The Torch in 2022. Growing up on Country in Lake Tyres and Wallaga Lake, she was surrounded by strong family connections and a deep creative spirit that has always been a part of her life.

Working with acrylic on canvas, Rhonda paints intuitively—guided by whatever is on her mind or in her heart. From the moment she picked up a paintbrush, she knew she had powerful stories to share. Her works offer glimpses into her culture, her hopes and dreams for the future, and her enduring ties to family and Country.

For Rhonda, painting is more than creative expression—it is a form of healing and escape. As her artistic journey continues, she looks forward with strength and purpose, excited to see where it will lead her.
