Ron began painting with his artist mother in grammar school. In Prep school he developed another interest, science. Ultimately he became an academic retina surgeon at Mass Eye & Ear Infirmary and Harvard Medical School. Art has now become his present passion. He paints with acrylics and “specializes in diversity”.
Subjects, techniques, styles, colors and textures are variable and exciting. He paints for joy!
