Ron was born and raised in a small town in rural Northern Ohio, where he still lives with his wife, three children and lovingly remembers his late son, Ryan. He grew up between the natural beauty and wildlife of Malabar Farm and Mohican State Forest. Ron is inspired by his closeness and love for nature. This gives him the calmness and insight to paint his wildlife with conviction. Although Ron has painted wildlife most of his life, he has recently ventured into painting figurative and portraits which he finds most satisfying. His paintings come in a variety of mediums.
Ron is a self-taught artist. He painted part-time for the last 25 years while working at a local factory as a press operator. Ron was a single father raising three children and found very little time to pursue his passion.
Fast forward to today; a supportive wife, one child leaving for the Air Force and one at home, his dream to create beautiful works of art on a full-time basis has finally come true. The journey of his ability to paint is one of courage and devotion to his first love, his family and his second love, painting.
