Ron Beckham celebrates and embraces life's journey through his "realist" oil and watercolor works. His paintings are inspired by connections with people and nature, in distant countries as well as the smallest American towns. Beckham intensely captures and honors his immediate impression of a moment in time.

Beckham is a graduate of the Art Academy of Cincinnati and the New York City School of Visual Arts where he studied under Marshall Arisman, Robert Weaver and Steve Heller, and completed his thesis with Rolling Stone Art Director Fred Woodward. His work has been recognized by Communication Arts, Print, Graphic Design USA and the Society of Illustrators. Furthermore, Beckham's corporate career with Campbell Soup, American Greetings and Burt's Bees, as well as his positions as an educator at Ohio University, The Art Institute of Illinois, Cincinnati's School for Creative & Performing Arts and KIPP Schools continues to allow him to cultivate and reinvent his artwork.
