Ronald T. Harvey

   Born and raised in Monticello, Utah, Ron developed an interest in visual arts at a very early age.  He received his art training at Salt Lake Community College, but also studied Electronics and Business Management.  He worked at Hill Air Force Base's Precision

Measurement Equipment Laboratory for eighteen years, worked ten years as manager of an electronics wholesale/retail business, and

eight years as a Quality Engineer for Rockwell International.

   Ron always enjoyed painting wildlife and landscapes, and while he elected to pursue a career in electronics, his real desire was to create paintings with a focus on the beauty of the world around us.

   Since his retirement in 2004, he has turned his attention toward developing his skills in fine art.  He is a Resident Artist at Ogden Arts,

in Ogden, Utah.  His paintings can be viewed at several venues in the greater Ogden area.

   Ron and his wife Bonnie, raised five children, and have lived in South Ogden since 1969.  During most of those years, he was actively

involved in the promotion of visual arts.  Mr. Harvey has taught painting and drawing classes at various locations, and has been a member of

the Palette Club of Ogden for almost twenty years.  He was elected president of that organization for two terms, and is presently serving

as their Newsletter Editor.

   Ron makes frequent trips with his photography equipment, to the

Four Corners area, to the Seattle area, and to other locations around

the western United States.  These trips provide most of the reference material for his paintings.  Many of his paintings are of Southeastern

Utah scenes, and reflect his love for this red-rock country.
