Ron Holmes is a sculptor and painter producing abstract and representational work from his studio in Wiltshire.

Born in Birmingham in 1945, He attended Moseley School of Art at the age of twelve and then went on to Birmingham College of Art at sixteen.

Having produced paintings and drawings for most of his life, his interest in recent years had turned to sculpture, producing both abstract and representational work in stone, bronze (from clays and waxes) and wood.
Working three dimensionally presents many problems but it is abstract work that he finds most stimulating and challenging.

“My belief is that art can be produced by anyone however naive and inexperienced. It is sincerity that is crucial and shines through the simplest of work, and it is that which is hardest to maintain by the most accomplished of artists.”
