Designed to evoke attention, each paper sculpture becomes a conversation piece.

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.

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 more 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."
