I know what your thinking. Is that his real name? Heck yes it is.
Well, Ron Rash was born in the wild west town known as “The Biggest Little City in the World,” Reno, NV 1972. A descendant of sheep thieves in Scotland, Ron knew there was a better life. That better life was riding his bmx bike through casino laced downtown Reno, front side slappies at the local shopping mall, and drawing on his school books. After several years of this life, drawing remains as the one true constant. With this kind of resume what else could he do but become an artist.

His has been called “fun”, “goofy”, “cute“, “silly”, and was recently called “too edgy” by Reno Magazine. Despite being “too edgy”, Rons work is shown at galleries here and there and has been published in various capacities for the likes of Volcom, Tahoe Quarterly, Heckler Magazine, Invisible Skateboard Co., and Seymour Duncan guitar pick-ups.

After 20 years that have taken him from Reno to San DIego to NYC to Oakland, Ron is back in his home town of Reno, NV. When he isn’t painting, Ron can be found riding his collection of cheap bicycles, raisin’ hell with his 2 youngins, and his latest passion; teaching art through a variety of media and techniques to kids and young adults.
