Simpkins, Ron
Born In Montreal, Canada Ron Simpkins began at the young age of seven a dream that would lead him on a path few traveled by professional Canadian landscape artists. Son of Henry Simpkins, late Canadian watercolor specialist, Simpkins understands to be truly liberated and free is to liberate the creative energy within. At the age of 17 his professional painting career took flight.
Attending Ontario College of Art in 1963 drove Simpkins in pursuit of worldwide exploration to further the reaches of his creativity. Widely traveled, as are his paintings which today, can be found in over 500 private and corporate collections throughout Canada, the United-States of America, Europe, Australia and Brazil.
In honor of Expo 67 Simpkins paintings were selected by the city of Montreal and donated to Herbert Bowden, Secretary of the British Commonwealth as an official gift from Canada.
Simpkins has a passion for transmitting beauty that is fueled by the harmony existing in the natural.
"What I try to create is the energy and vibrations of light as nature as my guide to give people a feeling as uplifting as light itself. To me light is god whoever or whatever that may be."
