Hi, I’m Ron Kendall, a 67 year old self taught artist with 60+ years experience, that’s a recent photo of me to the left.
After getting out of the army in 1968, I started to seriously put pen and paint to paper.
In the last 45 years I have managed to assemble a portfolio of 500 outrageously beautiful and varied pieces of art. And I am still adding to it. Up to 4hrs a day.
I am now retired and live in Phelan, California. However, I spent 36 years in the mountains of Trinity County California in a place called Hayfork. I relocated there from Riverside, Ca in 1973. There I worked, fished, prospected for gold and developed my artistic style. I also play the guitar and sing a bit. During those years many of my works won 1st place awards in local county fairs and exhibitions. My art has evolved over the years to include a wide variety of styles, methods and media.
Below is a list of my most recent accomplishments.
2011 – “Open Gate” won first place ribbon at the Los Angeles County Fair.
2012 – Exhibited 140 paintings over a 10 month period from June thru October in the “Billboard Art Project” presented in 6 major cities in the U.S. thru the website
www.billboardartproject.org. (Richmond, VA, Salem, Or, Detroit, MI, Albany, NY, Quincy, IL, Atlanta, GA). This exhibit was shown via the use electronic billboards along side major highways and freeways 24/7.
A number of paintings from the Billboard Art Project Atlanta exhibit were chosen by Kalerina Lanfranco of New York to be included in her special week long exhibit “Color Shift” segment of the Atlanta exhibit.
