Rhoda Bickerdike

Rhoda Bickerdike painted scenes of Newfoundland life in the 1930s and 40s, using watercolor to capture local harbors, fishing communities, and everyday routines. Her brush recorded places like St. Anthony’s Harbour, where seal skins dried beside fishing gear, and a boat trip named *Nuns In A Boat Bound for Los Diaz Hernanos*. A quiet observer of coastal tradition, her works feel like snapshots from a time when fishing villages ran on wind, tide, and salt air. Tap *Masts* to see how she framed rigging against the sky.
