Ron Leonard

Ron Leonard was born and educated in Toronto. He took a four year Art Course at Northern Vocational School with such notable teachers as L.A.C. Panton and Leonard Brooks. Ron also developed an interest in Magic at an early age, which soon developed into an intriguing part-time profession and which remained until his death in 1998, an integral part of his very active life.

One of Canada's most versatile artists, Ron worked in oils, watercolours, pen & ink and pencil. Usually outdoors, winter and summer, his style is direct and reflects his love of nature and the elements. Ron travelled and painted in many parts of the world. His work has been exhibited regularly since 1971. An excellent teacher, he was often called upon to demonstrate or conduct workshops for various art groups, and community colleges.
