- Luce Artist Biography
Ron Fleming grew up watching his father and grandfather work in wood and often crafted small items from natural materials such as feathers, hides and bones. He worked as an illustrator for forty years until a drawing of a rose inspired him to carve the shape from wood. Flemings vessels take their asymmetrical shapes, varying textures, and play of light and shadow from nature.
