 Ron grew up in Detroit, in his first 20 years finding himself surroundedby art and design. In 1971, Ron immersed himself in art, art history and design.
In 1975 he graduated with a Design Degree from The Centre for Creative Studies. He joined a renowned art & design studio  where he honed his skills for another four years. Never one to be afraid of hard work or deadlines, Ron was invited to join the international advertising network of Young & Rubicam and for the next twenty-five years he focused his attention on the strategic building and management of major brands around the world from the USA, Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand to Australia. Still, he never lost his passion or interest in studying watercolours, lifedrawing and oil painting.
Happily, Ron left the Agency scene in 2005 and now likes to see where his painting can take him, “to see is to invent” -Dali ‘Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.’
Ron prefers to work in oils, pastels + other mixed textures, he likes to set a colourful and contrasting mood for the viewer to feel a way into; acquires his inspiration from his family, friends and artists like, Tom Roberts, Dali, Eric Clapton, Helmut Newton, Brett Whiteley and the surf. ‘A painting is inspiring when the paint looks alive and working on it’s own wits.’
He has exhibited and sold works around the world, from Detroit andNew York to Europe and now Australia; in Sydney, Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast. Ron moved to Australia in 1984, lives in Queensland with his wife and two sons, whom are also proving to be good artists.
