This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| The following is from Dariel Bendin, daughter of the artist:
Ramona Batsford Bendin is a professional artist who has been painting for over 40 years. Today, she works primarily in oil, and is well known for her seascapes and marsh land scenes of the East Coast. Once a prolific painter of hunt scenes, Ms. Bendin still works in the genre, usually by commission. A few pieces remain available as limited edition reproductions.
The artist is the daughter of cartoonist Ben Batsford who inked the 1920s comic strip, "Little Annie Rooney", as well as Edgar Bergen's pre-war "Charlie McCarthy" strips. Not surprisingly, Ms. Bendin began drawing at an early age. She attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and later studied at the School of Visual Arts and Art Students League in New York City.
She has continued to explore concepts with other artists including George Gach, David Leffel, Joe Hing Lowe, Ferdinand Petrie and Perry Austin, and is listed in "Who's Who In the World". In addition, she often conducts her own workshops and teaches an ongoing oil painting class at Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash, NC.
Ramona Bendin is a life-time member of the American Artist Professional League and was also elected to New York's prestigious Hudson Valley Art Association. In North Carolina she belongs to the Wilmington Art Association and the Associated Artists of Southport.
Her professional awards include the Award of Excellence, National League of American Pen Women; Honorable Mention, 4th of July National Show, Associated Artists of Southport; Mrs. John Newington Award Portraits, Hudson Valley Art Association; Best In Show, National League of American Pen Women; and, Award of Excellence, Art League of Nassau County.
