Ron Croci - Figurative Impressionist / Originals and Giclees on Canvas

Artist Biography

In the late fifties, Ron grew up in the windswept and un-surfed town of Half Moon Bay, California. Ron and his friends were like Tom Sawyers with surfboards. He began his artistic career in the motion picture studio system, where towering images of heroes and villains were every day occurrences, and beautiful faces, as illusive and untouchable as the light that projected them, flitted continuously from trailer to stage.

Ron has worked in every motion picture studio in L.A., and on locations in many cities worldwide. His work has taken him to the largest ad agencies, designing commercials both here and overseas. He has created numerous murals, written ten books and created all types of posters, prints and cards. He was also on the design teams for some of the biggest names in the surf industry

Ron was the lead designer at the Hawaii Maritime Museum, and has shown in museums and galleries throughout the U.S. He has been published in so many magazines and periodicals that he has lost track. However, through all of it, Ron has surfed, dove and constantly used the images of the Sea and sparkle that glitters on the surface, which lies between air and water.
