My daughter just asked me if I used to draw when I was little and Ron popped into my head. I have such vivid memories of attending his classes at his home in Avonside, I remember he would treat us to lollies. His house was so intriguing when I was small, beautiful and artsie, and his garden was like a fairytale. Ron was so kind, he would let us adventure and come back to our work when we were ready. Being in his classes was such a safe space for me, even when things were hard at home, Ron made us all feel accepted and special with his praise. A true legend.
