Ron Snowden - Biography
Ron has been painting watercolors for many years, but semi-retirement has afforded him the opportunity to spend much more time painting, teaching and studying art.
He is a member of the American Watercolor Society and a Signature Member of The Northwest Watercolor Society and has participated in many classes and workshops taught by artists whose work he admires, including watercolorists
Alvaro Castagnet, Mary Gibbs, Stan Miller, Joe Garcia,
Iain Stewart, Eric Wiegardt, Bev Jozwiak and Ron Stocke.
Ron has won many awards for his work at juried art shows throughout the Northwest. He recently won “Best of Show” at the Washington State Fair Fine Arts Show with a watercolor portrait entitled “DJ” and has won the Director’s Purchase Award three times and First Place twice and also People’s Choice Awards at the Fair. He has had his art selected for the Foss Maritime Calendars for the past 11 years and also done commemorative posters for the Puyallup Art and Wine Walk. His painting of a Nez Perce Indian woman, “Wynookie Wysookie” was selected to be exhibited in the Northwest Watercolor Society International Open Show.
Much of his painting inspiration comes from the great scenery in the Northwest, including the mountains, beaches and boats. Besides landscapes and cityscapes he also likes to paint portraits and still life. Ron also enjoys golfing, gardening, fishing, traveling, antiquing and spending time with his wife of 59 years, LoRee.
There is a collection of his paintings on display and for sale at
Newell Hunt Furniture and Meeker Mercantile in downtown Puyallup.
