Ronna Katz

At the age of five, Ronna Katz began painting (on the walls) and has never really stopped. She’s a second-generation art fair artist exposed to art festivals as a child while helping her parents at art & craft events throughout the east coast. There were long pauses such as studying biochemistry, obtaining an MBA and working corporate jobs; and since 2001 has been a full-time artist. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Marquette, Michigan, Ronna draws her inspiration and palette from the subtle colors of the southwest landscape. Her technique is to apply pastel by hand in at least four layers over black linen or over a sanded ground.
