For Shareholder Rhonda Shelford Jansen, what she paints is all about why. Her grandmother Lydia Resoff Shelford was a painter, and when she noticed Rhonda had a love for sketching and doodling, Grandma began teaching her to paint, always directing her to take inspiration from reality: still life, images, photographs. But as she grew older, Rhonda realized that what she wasn’t painting was their culture. As she transitioned into a full-time career as an artist, Rhonda’s body of work developed around a discernable theme: Alaska Native people playing, subsisting, and simply existing amidst the natural world – sometimes joyful, sometimes serious.
