and artistic family. Before beginning his musical
career he received formal art training at Ealing College
of Art in London. As his musical career with the Jeff
Beck Group, the Faces and the Rolling Stones progressed,
Ronnie continued his painting and drawing, his subjects
ranging from musicians he admired, knew and sometimes
played with, to family and close friends, and, of
course, the self-portrait.
Throughout the years the artist and the musician have
been inseparable. As his musical career progressed,
Ronnie continued his passion for painting and drawing,
his subjects ranging from band members and musicians
he admired, knew and sometimes played with, to family
and close friends and, of course, the self-portrait.

a guitar, drawing portraits of contemporaries and
finding inspiration from his musical i nfluences.
In America in the early 1980¹s Ronnie produced his
first prints three woodcuts and a series of monotypes.
At that time he was not yet an experienced printmaker
so it was with great enthusiasm that he seized upon
it. The opportunity in 1987 to send several months
working in a professional printmaking studio in England.
Since then he has devoted to a considerable amount
of time to printmaking and has produced a number of
images using various techniques etching, drypoint,
screenprint and digital.
Over the years his work has been widely exhibited.
In 1996 he had a retrospective exhibition at the Museum
of Modern Art, Sao Paulo, Brazil. He has had numberius
one man exhibitions in North an south America, in
