A Talented Artist: Ron Artis (Art.....Is)

By
Real Estate Agent with Liberty Homes RS-#62825

While driving to and along the North Shore of Oahu this past Saturday and Sunday I started noticing murals on buildings. I snapped the one above in hopes I could find out more about this talented artist who signed the murals as Ron Artis.

Ron Artis' website at www.ronartis.com says he is a disabled vet who will always give the best to his country. He has painted many a mural inside US Navy Ships and Submarines and looking through many pages on his site I was amazed at the talent of this artist and what he is doing around our island and for the military to "help create a better environment to live in" he says.

I researched further and to my further amazement found that Ron and his wife Victoria trained all of their children the gift of artistic expression and they also play musicand have made many cd's! With a 'paradise sound' their music is delivered to our ears with many different styles.

Where have I been??

I now know where all these murals came from and will pay more attention to this wonderful artist and his family of talented artists.

Hi Sally,

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy local artist. There was a very talented man in New York. He painted the sides of Barns with brooms. I wish I had taken pictures of his work to share here in the Rain.

Murals are so much more interesting than blank block walls. We even have murals on some of our water towers here in St Petersburg.

We need more buildings with beautiful pictures on them.  Isaiah Zagar has done some great mosaic work on buildings in the Philadelphia area that I visited over Thanksgiving.

Sally I have always admired people who are able to create something of beauty with just a brush and paint.

By the way his name is very appropriate.

That's such a cool picture. I love wall murals. And I think that just yesterday, Jeff Dowler blogged about a mural painter. Many people have such amazing talent.

Woo Hoo, How perfect of you to find someone like this physically challenged VETERAN and to give his work some real exposure. Well done and he certainly has talent. I could of a lot things he could paint and beautify them. Marvelous and I am delighted you found and shared a sample of his work. Our Veterans deserve so much more than they often get.

When I was in the printing business several years ago I dealt with Ron.  Back then he also had an art gallery in Windward Mall.  He has done a lot of murals around the island.  I see his work all over the place.

He has a very large family.  I always remember how I was so impressed with how well mannered his children were.  It was a real testament to the great job he and his wife were doing raising them.

Teri: Thanks for dropping by...

Randy: I guess I was blinded or something. I had seem murals vaguely around the island just never thought to stop and see who it was.

Barbara: No kidding...I was very impressed.

William: It was by chance I stopped, took the pic and when I got home determined to find out who this was ...and to think I've lived here most of my life.
