Theronda Hoffman
Her Motto in life is "I live to paint and paint to live"
Theronda was born in South Africa, she now lives in Ipswich, UK. She has a BA degree in psychology and history. She did a graphic full course under Ian Taiton. This includes etching, aquatint, linocuts, monoprints as well as Lithography. She Started work as a full time artist in 1989. She travels a lot to broaden her horizons. Her work has been influenced by Picasso, Chagall and has matured into a colour filled expressionistic realism, where she puts the unexpected together.
