Rhonda Wheatley is a Chicago, Illinois–based multidisciplinary artist and educator whose sculptures, installations, and interactive projects are grounded in the speculative, metaphysical, and spiritual, exploring healing, consciousness expansion, and transformation. As an energy healer, Wheatley imbues her work with meditative focus and intent. Each sculpture is attuned to the combined energies and symbolism of her materials—vintage found objects and electronics, as well as organic and natural materials, including fossils, cicadas, barnacle clusters, moss, and shed snakeskin. Wheatley’s work has been featured in exhibitions at sites such as Hyde Park Art Center and Gallery 400 in Chicago, Illinois; San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, San Francisco, California; and Walter Maciel Gallery, Los Angeles, California, among others.
