He has been featured on ABC, FOX, PBS TV and is the selected artist for prominent magazine covers. This numerous award-winning artist also finds time to raise money and consciousness for several national charitable organizations while managing and operating his own publishing company. Ron's original artwork is featured in some of the finest homes, businesses and libraries around the world. His limited editions, lithographs, prints and card help meet Ron's goal of making art available to everyone. There is always something new and different to experience in his paper sculpture galleries. Enjoy the artist's main gallery, then cross the courtyard to Olly-O-land Children's Museum showcasing the original art from the award-winning classic children's book The Whimsical Verse of Olly-O by Molly James. Featuring Ron's art, the book continues to inspire a new generation of the art going public. Ron
summarizes his artwork by saying; "Shadows, light and composition
surround us everywhere and capturing them in crisp form is what I do.
My work thrives on the light and reflection of our world that can be
looked at in so many different ways. My work is graphic in nature but
always natural in form. I like when people want to get closer and move
involved with my art, it's a trait I admire in people and in life. My
art has taught me to get more involved, to trust myself and to have
more fun. It's my gift." |
