Carol is a refugee from the rust belt and her husband is a hillbilly from the Ozarks. They came to California to make their fortune.

Now that I have your attention, Carol graduated from CSC Long Beach where she majored in Art.

“I love to paint and make things beautiful!  This year I’m trying some watercolors and acrylics.  I usually prefer oils.  I like all kinds of color and enjoy quilts, stain glass windows, and anything that has beautiful colors.”

Come on up to Ironstone, have lunch, and see my artwork.  “I can’t think of anything I enjoy doing more than painting . . . well, I also enjoy cross country skiing.  Another beautiful thing.”

RENÉE RONDON

Renée is a 4^th generation (of 5) Californian.  She moved to Calaveras County almost 9 years ago.  Her pastimes include camping, hiking and gardening.  Her passion is oil painting.   She is mostly self-taught, but has had lessons with many wonderful and respected instructors including Ed Garcia, VaLoyce Jensen, Gereon Rios, Gill Delinger, George Durkee, Diana Boyd, Judy Cain, and Peggi Kroll-Roberts.    

Renée welcomes the challenge of developing her paintings into a story that will touch someone’s heart, or remind them of an event that is a special part of their life.  Each painting is developed from a personal photo, sketch, or idea from various trips, other outings and even from her own backyard.      

Her art has won several awards, and her paintings have been in various galleries including the Aloft Gallery in Sonora, Mistlin Gallery in Modesto, Calaveras Arts Council in San Andreas, Lodi Community Art Center, and Delicato Winery in Manteca.
