Mystified... is that what you want to be? Explore the world of Ron Collins.
Ron Collin's truly unique style blends wood carving and painting into a deeply moving visual experience. The faces of his subjects are hand-carved from the tree bark of the massive cottonwoods of Taos, New Mexico, using only a single-edge razor blade. It is Ron's belief that by bringing these faces to the surface of the cottonwood, he frees the spirits of his slave ancestors that had been absorbed into the trees.
Ron's profound messages are not only revealed in his art… promoting a doctrine of peace and love, Ron also speaks publicly on sensitive social issues and has made speaking appearances at the University of Houston, Ohio State University, St. Agnes Academy, and Bellaire High School – just to name a few.

Discriminating art collectors from all over the world have added his stunning work to their collections. Originating in Akron, Ohio, Ron now resides in Houston, Texas.
