The vibrant intensity of Ron Burns’ color-rich paintings does for dogs and cats what Warhol did for Marilyn Monroe. Equally adept at painting gorgeous landscapes and modern abstracts, Burns breaks from his hectic L.A.-based graphic design company to the serene, spiritual settings of Arizona to paint. After painting his own animal companions, he turned to animal shelters for subjects, returning a portion of proceeds to fund their support. Burns is distinguished as the artist-in-residence with The Humane Society of the United States.
