Ronald Isom

I am a retired high school art instructor. I taught art for 33 years at Belleville East High School in Belleville, Illinois.

My art work is personal iconography. The imagery has been developed over fifty years. My vocabulary of icons enables me to generate hundreds of images without conscious effort. The ideas flow on the paper much like automatic writing. I generate the images in in sets of 10 to 20 and have produced several series of 100 or more. Many of my original works are photographed and the images are manipulated with Adobe illustrator or Photoshop.
