Since the early 1960s, Ron’s work has evolved from mechanical drafting and hand-drawn concepts and designs into abstract digital art. In 2005, after earning a fine arts degree, he began creating abstract digital art primarily for poster contests. This has become his passion. His work addresses a wide range of recognizable common subjects that capture his imagination, combined with complex abstract backgrounds. He often creates an art series of 12 prints that revolve around specific themes.

Ron usually focuses on one piece at a time to prevent cross pollination of themes or works. His goal is to create a unique piece with no connection to other works. People, places, and things in Ron’s life provide very personal springboards to launch his art. He intends each work to be complex and detailed, often employing textures, colors, and lighting effects to enhance the pieces. A sense of playfulness and whimsy also informs his work.

The complexity of Ron’s creations distinguishes them from those of other digital artists. His forte is combining abstract or fractal backgrounds with a recognizable subject. Each piece is actually two or more designs combined to get the effect he seeks. During the creation process, Ron puts aside a piece for several days, then goes back to overlay complexity. He continues to do this until he gets the desired result. Much of his work ends up in the shredder because it failed to meet his high personal standards.

When people view Ron’s work, he wants them to see the fine detail and design complexity and to embrace digital art. Ron has won two poster contests in the Pensacola, Fla., area. However, he experienced his greatest sense of accomplishment when working with an 84-year-old fine art collector, who allowed Ron to create an abstract piece featuring him. The collector loved the result, proudly displaying it as the only abstract digital art in his highly valued collection.
