Sheila and Ron Ruiz

Both natives of Southern California, when Ron and Sheila married in 1984, they found they shared another love - the world of fine art.
Ron had a BA degree from the California University system and worked in engineering design and drawing.
Sheila attended private art schools, as well as University classes, eventually building a career in Marketing and Advertising.

Early in their marriage, Ron and Sheila re-kindled their artistic interests. Both found they loved the tactile feeling and "hands-on" experience of working with clay,
eventually transitioning their experience and talents into bronze sculpture. Their work has remained a collaborative effort. Ron and Sheila not only share their ideas about their next sculpture, they also work on each other's images, making their sculptures a true
joint project, by combining their talents.

The Ruiz' have won numerous awards in juried shows and have been featured in news articles and art publications. Their sculptures are included
in the private collections of various corporations, as well as motion picture and sports celebrities. Ron and Sheila's creative synergism has produced
artworks that are both classical and dynamic; art to be enjoyed by every generation - for generations.
