About the Artist

Much of Ron’s inspiration has been framed by his upbringing in Monterey County, CA. From kelp to cattails, from sea turtles to birds of prey, the ocean and the outdoors are ever-present in his work.

Ron now calls Paso Robles, CA his home, where he fabricates his signature steel sculptures. Select pieces may be found at Deprise Brescia Art Gallery downtown Paso Robles.
