Ronald Day
THE ARTIST:
Ronald Day is married with two children and lives in Greasborough, Rotherham. After 9 years service in the Royal Navy, Ron worked in the Power and Steel Industry and is now a practising professional artist. He currently works from his studio gallery at 143 Effingham Street in Rotherham where there is a constant exhibition of his work. He is a lecturer in painting at Adult Education Classes at Rotherham College of Art and undertakes private tuition. He is also available for demonstrations to art clubs and societies.

Ronald has written and illustrated children's books and is vice-president of the Rotherham Society of Artists, is a member of the Barnsley Art Club and the Heeley Art Club.

As a member, and past Vice President, of Rotherham Society of Artists, Ron has been influenced by many of its other members such as Norman Pinkney, Jim Williams and Bill Vickers, all of whom he holds in high esteem. Exhibiting almost every year, Ron has given inspiration to many budding artists, through his teaching and demonstrations, and most of all, through his work which shows a real love of the countryside and a love of painting.

His paintings hang in public and private collections in England, Germany and Canada.
