Ronald is a Detroit-based artist working out of the PASC Detroit studio. Ronald is an accomplished draftsman who took classes in drawing in and around Detroit. He creates very realistic drawings and paintings of people, drawing influences from religious iconography, Western European painting, manga, mythology, alongside pop cultural references. Ronald takes these references and forms entirely new mythological and symbiotic creatures, sometimes engaging in erotic acts.
