Ron Roland, a New Orleans native (from the westbank neighborhood of Harvey) began his art career in the early 1970s French Quarter, designing both rock concert posters for The Warehouse and layouts for the Sears catalog. He also did graphics and illustration for In Your Ear, a New Orleans entertainment guide. He then started Prime Garphics with colleagues from Harry Maronne's graphic design studio, later evolving into Sunshine Graphics which he ran for 15 years, collecting numerous graphic design awards. He also served as Director of the New Orleans Graphic Design Association at this time. A resident of Pensacola, FL since 1987, Ron was art director for the early Pensacola Magazine in the late 1980s published by Pensacola Engraving Co. He attended McCrady School of Art in New Orleans as well as the University of New Orleans Dept. of Art in the late 1960s after first attending LSU as a civil engineering major.
Ron's work can be purchased at the art market in New Orleans, Palmer Park, the last Saturday of each month, sometimes at the art market in Tallahassee, and at fine art shows in the Gulf Coast region and beyond.
