Ronald's name needs little introduction to the aircrew of military bases in Western Europe and the United States, for whom his precise and dramatic artwork has been a familiar presence for many years. His original training in Britain was in Biochemistry, and it was only after years of service in the Health Service that he decided to embark on a career in painting, in particular of a childhood love, aviation.
He is a long-standing Member of the Guild of Aviation Artists in the UK, where he has won many prizes over the years, and also of the American Society of Aviation Artists. Aside from the numerous paintings he has achieved over the years which hang all over the world, he has to date published some 170 runs of lithographic prints, which must be something of a record for an individual artist. Apart from aviation, his artistic interests range from motoring and marine art to portraiture, animals and landscapes.
