Commissioned Art by Ronnie

PRIVATE and PUBLIC COMMISSIONED ARTIST for CALIFORNIA and the USA

Ronnie has been commissioned to sculpt both private and public sculptures for over twenty-five years. She is also an excellent painter and calligrapher, and many of her works are in homes and businesses throughout the USA. Her public commissioned sculptures are installed around California and the USA.

At the beginning of the commissioning process, Ronnie listens to her client’s desired end result, makes suggestions based on her years of experience, and once the final decision has been reached, work begins on the project. With sculptures, the client is invited to check the work in wax and then watch the bronze pour of their new sculpture. Once the piece is completed, patinaed, and sealant applied, it is prepared for shipping to its final destination in the USA, or the client can pick-up their sculpture at the foundry.

By owning her own foundry, Ronnie’s commissioned fees are often lower than other artists, as she works directly with the client. Owning her own foundry also enables her to take an active roll in each part of the casting process. You may contact her assistant at the foundry at 916-929-5225 to schedule either the first meeting in the foundry or a virtual meeting.
