Ron retired in 1994, and embraced retirement with pursuing his passion for art, a passion of his since he was young. While children were out engaging in sports, and other activities, Ron was happy to sit comfortably at home drawing. He never took formal lessons, and is self-taught. He joined the Mississauga Art Society and began teaching both teenagers and adults at the Springbank Arts Centre to expand their portfolios and build on their artistic confidence.
Ron’s subject matter is versatile, and the majority of his work is inspired from photos. Every painting is an original. You can spot his pieces from afar as they beam beautifully with vibrant colours and showcase gorgeous senery.
His framed artwork has been featured in multiple shows as well as at Credit Valley Hospital. Ron and his wife Barbara joined Walden this past Spring and Ron looks forward to participating in many new creative pursuits!
