Ron’s love for the ocean, vitality and water sports is clearly seen in all his rich and beautiful designs.

“I was born in Chicago Illinois, to a very aquatic family: almost everyone in my family engages in some type of water sports.

We moved to the San Mateo, Half Moon Bay area in 1956. As teens we were like Tom Sawyers with surfboards. I have worked most of my professional life between the poles of commercial and fine art, and have been blessed by work published in most of today’s current media. From murals and feature films, to posters, books, cards, magazines, and paintings.”
