Ron Deak is a California native born in the quaint town of Petaluma, California. With family heritage of Hungarian, Scottish, German, and English descent ... he feels truly American. He is a surfer, and lover of California’s oceans, mountains, deserts, and other natural beauty.
Ron began painting as a young teenager and took art classes in college. Raising a family took him into other business ventures but the art world kept tugging at his heartstrings and he eventually returned to what gives him the most joy - oil painting. This love of art led him along with his wife Aida Ganddini, to purchase Villas & Verandas art gallery.
Art has become a very integral part of Ron’s life, and he has a hard time getting through a day without painting. Ron has a high regard for fellow artists, finding inspiration through many of their stirring depictions of California’s vanishing open spaces. Ron is currently collaborating with his wife Aida on a book for Mission San Juan Capistrano which incorporates both of their artwork and Aida’s poetry.
