The human ribcage holds more than just bones...it cages life, emotion, and even wild beauty. With peonies, symbols of love and renewal, growing through the ribs, and a chickadee, often seen as a messenger of joy and resilience, perched delicately on the cage, this piece speaks of life breaking free from its confines. Even in death, a wild heart persists, and sometimes, only then can it truly be free.

Rhonda Franks (she/her) is a contemporary realist whose work probes the shadowed edges of the natural world and human experience. Through meticulous detail and a quietly unsettling lens, she illuminates the overlooked, the mysterious, and the liminal moments where beauty and unease coexist. Her darker works invite viewers to pause, question, and uncover stories hidden in plain sight, offering glimpses of nature and life that are as intimate as they are uncanny.

This is Rhonda's first time exhibiting at the A.B.F.M. Magazine® Online Halloween Group Exhibition, and she is featured in our artist directory on the website.
