Throughout his life, Ron has made his living as an Artist. In the early Seventies, after finishing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture and Ceramics, he built a pottery studio in California. For nearly a decade he worked as a potter producing exceptional hand made pottery. In an attempt to satisfy his inner drive for greater creativity he phased out of pottery and in 1984, with a close friend opened a very successful print advertising and graphic design studio. In the early 90’s Ron began painting for enjoyment and personal expression apart from the pressures of the advertising/design world. He found that other people enjoyed his work as well, and received invitations to participate in both private and group shows. With the desire to paint with the greatest degree of professional accomplishment, he returned to school to achieve a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing. For a number of years, Ron taught painting and drawing as an Adjunct Professor at Utah Valley University. He now works as a full time studio artist and lives with his wife and his three youngest children on the Central Coast of California. His home and studio are located in an inspiring area of the coastal highlands that is wooded in Oak and Laurel, and overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
