I get great pleasure in knowing people are looking at my art and photography! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Art has been a love of mine since I was a little girl. That love has turned into a passion over the years.

"It is in the Soy", as my Greek relatives love to say. My dad was a great artist and my aunt, his sister, still dabbles a bit with the paint brush. I took watercolor classes many years ago, taught by my father's first cousin, T. Nicholas Phakos. His art is in many galleries and owned by collectors across the country, especially the eastern United States.

I hope to be that good some day!!

Now, I am into another art form; photography. I started taking pictures for reference material for my paintings. Little did I know that I would love photography so much, that now the paintings and sketches have temporarily taken a back seat to the photography. With the help of a very talented Flickr friend, I am learning, improving and growing as a photographer. I now see things and look at my environment in a whole new way. My new challenge is trying to balance it all....the paintings, drawings, and the photography. I'll get there, eventually.......

11-3-09 Update - I am painting and drawing again and still taking lots and lots of pictures! There are not enough hours in the day to do it all...but I try!

    "Ronah, I admire your work for maybe half a year now and I can say, that your photographs always are of a very good quality. In autumn I was fascinated by the coloured landscpe, trees and leaves, late summer mums, one as beautiful as the other and roses of great beauty as well. In the last months I think you have improved so much, because you show flower macros that are sooo fantastic that I could fill one Gallery of 'Ronah's beautiful Macros' after the other. With the time you always came closer and more personal and better and better. Especially your macros with waterdrops are simply devine, but all of them are great. On the other hand your painting and sketching skills are amazing and I wonder why you don't use them more often. Your portraits are truly outstanding! It's always a pleasure to look at your work, Ronah - thank you!!!"

    "Ronah is my dear friend. I have enjoyed the pleasure of her constant support, encouragement, flattering words, and above all, her wonderful kind and unselfish spirit. She's a very sensitive and utterly creative gal, with energy and enthusiasm far beyond my own. I admire Ronah, and her beautiful artistic talents, but mostly I am grateful to have her touch my life as deeply as she does.

    Ronah is a humble lady, and for no reason - as I view her. She is equally adept with a watercolor brush as she is with a 2H pencil, a camera shutter as well as shifting thru the gears on her 'vette', speaking Greek or crafting an amazing portrait. She's an amazingly talented friend, who inspires and motivates me in ways I only dreamed of. So I need to thank her here, although I'll never really be able to thank her for all she's given me. And with all of us she shares her works, which in her case, is her heart. And for that, Ronah, I thank you, and I hope all your viewers can glimpse all your beauty, and peek into your heart thru all your beautiful works here!

    Thank you and please don't ever stop being the incredibly unselfish and talented artist that you are!!

    Rich"
