are right before our eyes. However, these potential
masterpieces, these places and things in ordinary life,
often go overlooked. Whether it be the beauty of
nature seen in a cypress swamp in the autumn, the
strength of horses galloping through the desert, or
mans best friend and his buddy fishing together. Such
grace and beauty in all forms deserves recognition.
Capturing these moments in time is a challenge for
any artist. As an artist, I enjoy the thrill of portraying
these moments on canvas. As you survey the gallery,
I hope you will find, as I have, that beauty takes
many forms and is undeniable even in the most
ordinary of subjects." Ron
age he developed a curiosity and interest in art. After completing his formal
education, he graduated from the Famous Artists School of Commercial Art and
Illustration, Westport, Connecticut in 1960. However, he put down the "brush" and
pursued a career in banking.
He and his wife, Ruthann were married in 1967 and raised their two daughters in the
suburbs of Philadelphia. Ron worked in the metropolitan Philadelphia area; a career in
the banking industry that spanned thirty-seven years. Tiring of the increasing demands
and pressure of the "corporate world" Ron took early retirement and he and Ruthann
relocated to Long Neck, Delaware in November of 2000. Soon after, he picked up the
"brush" once again, returning to his childhood love for art.
After receiving a positive critique of some of his early work from an area artist and
encouragement from Ruthann he enthusiastically began to resurrect this abandoned
hobby. Presently, much of Ron's work on canvas is from life's early memories and local
areas of interest in Sussex County. Most recently Ron gained recognition for his work
with second place honors in a juried exhibit of historic Delaware along with a first
place "peoples choice" award for his acrylic of the Rockford Tower. He is currently a
member of the Millsboro Art League, Millsboro, Delaware and the Rehoboth Art
League, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Most of his current work is hanging in these art
leagues and in local businesses in Sussex County.
