Ron Mango

    Born 1950 in Detroit, Michigan and raised with his two brothers in a Christian family. Completed his first oil painting at the age of 13. This painting still hangs in his mothers home in Florida.
    Ron began painting to attain "realism". He was once told by an art instructor in college that his work was "pointless" because a camera could capture the same scene. Consequently, Ron never received a lesson in art or painting.
    Being self-taught has resulted in several periods or moods during his 45 years of painting. His realistic period consists mainly of Landscapes. His most recent period consists of European Street Scapes which are designed to have a distinct light source with splashes of vivid color. His Christian period consists of a series of paintings leading up to the celebration of Easter.
    Ron is currently employed as an assistant principal with Huron Valley Schools and resides with his 3 sons in the Milford area.
