Drawing is Ron Sandford’s occupation, and he has been drawing everyday with absolute serious intent for at least 50 years. The son of a Greenock engineer who always had a pencil behind his ear, Ron studied at Glasgow School of Art before moving to London to teach at the Central School of Art and the Royal College of Art. In 2002, Ron moved to a secluded house in Yell. Free from the shackles of commissions and teaching he has been able to completely immerse himself into drawing the landscape, people and culture of Shetland. Ron draws anything and everything and his work is a fusion between architectural precision and the free spirit of mark making that he has absorbed from the great tradition of Asian art.
