Welcome to my 20 year retrospect.  When I picked up a paint brush and created my first work of art, I had no idea the path I was headed down and where it would take me.  Over the following pages I will reflect on that journey, as an artist and philanthropist along with those pivotal points that shaped my life.  I will also start each year with several memorable happenings throughout our world that quite possibly affected us all.  I believe all artists pull from the various incidences that inspire, motivate or move them in order to create the works of art we see.

In viewing the following pages I trust that collectors, artist and curious
by-passers alike will garner a few tid-bits from the artworld of Ron Burns. 

Best,
Ron Burns
