Rhonda Reymond is an Assistant Professor of Art History at West Virginia University. She completed a BFA in Interior Design and Historic Preservation (Savannah College of Art and Design) and an MA and Ph.D. in Art History (University of Georgia). Her primary research interests are Nineteenth-Century American and European art and architecture, and in particular trans-Atlantic and cross-cultural artistic and pedagogical exchanges and issues of historicism in the nineteenth century. Dr. Reymond’s work addresses such diverse subjects as; creating a new study abroad curriculum in Italy, the influence of Italy on American artists, Nineteenth-Century urban planning, and the paintings of James McNeil Whistler and Henry Ossawa Tanner. Her dissertation, a contextual analysis of All Souls’ Church in Biltmore Village, Asheville, North Carolina, reveals the complex relationship between artistic, historical, social, economic and spiritual forces which form a reoccurring topic of study for Professor Reymond.
