About the Artist

Ronda's birth sign is Cancer and one of the defining traits of a Cancer is a dislike of change. This might have something to do with her intense yearning to preserve the past along with its rituals and customs. She was born an old lady (or so many would tell her during her childhood), and quickly formed an attachment to all things archaic.
