Regina Hona
|
 Matrix  Into The Light  Through These Eyes
|
Melbourne born artist, Regina Hona is a full-time professional artist, having studied classical tonal realisim in oil many years ago. It was the discovery of pastels that allowed her to embrace her painting with a new intensity due to the limitations that oil painting imposed whilst raising a young family. Although she has returned to painting in oils and has experimented with other mediums, she loves soft pastels because of their immediacy and versatility. It has the advantage of speed and directness, and the smooth, thick quality of soft pastels produce rich, painterly effects. The soft and vibrant colours help create varying atmospheres where she can focus on the effects of light and shade in her subject.
Regina paints in a modern impressionist style and is able to paint any subject, however she now specialises in water subjects and the human form.
Regina is a past Treasurer and President of the Pastel Society of Victoria (2001-2004) and travels within Australia conducting workshops for various art groups and societies. More recently she is being sought to judge art shows and taking overseas tours, the next being in May 2012 to the Greek Isles.
She is a member of Fusion Six, a group of Melbourne based professional artists. Their very successful About Face exhibition has been touring to regional galleries between 2008-2010. The book About Face is also available for purchase through the website or contact Regina direct.
Articles about her work have been published in the International Artist magazine (#34 & #56) and Australian Artist magazine (#263 & #277).
