| Biography | |
Ronal A. Parlin, a native and resident of Maine, is a plein air painter whose love of the outdoors is rooted in family circumstances. Growing up in a large, poor family in a very small house, he would often escape to the outdoors for quiet and solitude. His passion for painting developed on fishing trips with his dad and brothers. As a result, most of his work includes some body of water.
Beginning his study of art in high school, Mr. Parlin was encouraged by his teacher who recognized his talent and urged him to seek training beyond high school. Enrolling in the New England School of Art in Boston, he studied with Bill Maynard among others. After his graduation he returned to his native Maine, where he has remained to paint the environment dearest to his heart.
Mr. Parlin has shared his knowledge of art by teaching in several adult education programs as well as the University of Maine and the Stanley Museum in Kingfield, Maine.
His work has been shown in galleries in Maine, Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Canada.
There are many private and corporate collections who own Mr. Parlins work, including thirty two paintings in the Sears Corporate Collection, some of which were sent to their Dean Witter Center at the World Trade Center in New York. One hundred of his works are in the Maryland Bank of North Americas Corporate Collection. |
