Background
Ron is a member of a native artist’s cooperative in Forster, Australia that contains some of the most promising and developed aboriginal talents in eastern Australia and enjoys working in the earthy tones of traditional Aborigianl art.
Ron will receive a teaching degree soon from Australian Catholic University. In addition to being a skilled artist he teaches Aboriginal art and culture one day a week at a local primary school.
Ron believes that the success of their cooperative has changed many Aboriginal people's attitudes towards their own culture, and has led to new attitudes towards the Aboriginal community from the wider Forster community.
