Now living in Brisbane, Ron grew up in Detroit, Car city, Motown and in his first 20 years found himself surrounded by art, design and great music.

In 1971, Ron immersed himself in art, art history and design. In 1975 he graduated with a Design Degree from The College for Creative Studies. From there 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 focused his attention on the strategic building and management of major brands around the world.

Still, he never lost his passion or interest in studying watercolours, life drawing 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 and 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 such as Tom Roberts, Dali, Eric Clapton, Helmut Newton, Brett Whiteley and the surf.

Ron has exhibited and sold works around the world, from Detroit and New York to across Europe and now throughout Australia.
