Ron Raevsky is a landscape painter from the state
of West Virginia. He studied Fine Arts in studio
art at the New York University School of Art.
Landscape Art deals with the portrayal of natural
scenery like mountains, hills, valleys, peaks,
lakes, rivers, forests, and greenery etc. The
two primary traditions of landscape painting are
Western and Chinese landscapes.

Landscapes have been depicted in art since the
1600s. Some important painters in this genre of
art include Claude Monet, Thomas Cole, Paul
Cezzane, JMW Turner, and Claude Lorrain. Before
he had even seen the works of any of these famous
men, Ronald Raevsky had started creating his own
works of art at the age of 8 years.

As a child, Ron Raevsky was an ardent admirer and
his sister used to be amazed at his attention to
detail. When he began painting, his mother
entered his painting into a contest for young
children , which he subsequently won. He
acknowledges that living in a joint household
with his grandparents provided a very fulfilling
and nurturing environment for his mind to
develop. All day long he would make paintings
and seek the approval of his family members .
Each person added their own bit to his learning
experience. Till date he has made about 500
paintings.

After he graduated from college, he held a
position at a graphic design firm for a brief
time. However when in Maysel, his home town for a
break, he happened to run into a business man who
offered him an beneficial proposition. According
to this, Ron Raevsky would paint his creations,
and the gentleman would be responsible for
advertising and selling them.

The profit was to be split 50-50. This seemed
very likeable to Ron, and without too much
thought he accepted. This turned out a very
successful operation, and soon Ron ended up being
well known for his beautiful landscape art.
