THE CREATOR/ABOUT ME


THE CREATOR

Name : Ronda Dark ~ A.K.A. The Artist "DarkLady"

I am a freelance photographer and computer graphics artist
currently residing in Colorado. I specialize in creating digital imagery by combining photography, illustration and a variety of techniques into a
unique style that I can call my own.

Professionally, I have been shooting since 1989 and exhibiting since 2000.

US and Europe and include such luminaries as:

  • Stephen King - Bangor, Main
  • Johnny Depp - Meudon, France

    What people are saying about my works.

    Christopher Walken ~ Actor
    The Mysterious DarkLady...
    I might not know from where
    the cold wind blows, but I know
    what I like and I dig your work.
    You can take that to the bank on
    your way mental baby!
    Don't go, Don't go yet,
    it's wonderful stuff.

    Chris Slade ~ Drummer, AC/DC

    Ronda,
    You have a hell of a knack of making
    ugly f*cks like me look good!
    Plenty of photographers have an eye,
    it's almost like you have two!
    Love ya doll!
    Chris

    Stephen King ~ Author

    Your work goes way beyond what even I envision.

    Ronny Monroe ~ Metal Church
    It's never hard to describe working with Ronda!
    She's mad as f*ck and has a heart of gold
    which goes a long way in my book!

    Phil Ryan & Stacey Blades ~ L.A. Guns
    We had a great time working with you.
    You took great care with every request and
    made each image unique, vivid and creative.

    Ira Black ~ Guitarist, Lizzy Borden

    I knew you’d come up with something I’d love!!!
    I am just sitting here smiling in awe. I love it.
