Join local young adult artist Ronan Baumhardt every Monday this summer to create fantasy based art! The library will provide art supplies, just bring yourself. All skill levels welcome.
Ronan's interest in art began during his Freshman year of high school. Since then, much of his time has been spent exploring the many forms art can take: Drawing, watercolor painting, and ink illustration being the mediums he uses most. He especially loves the freedom and inventiveness of fantasy art, through which he has found new ways to communicate ideas and stories.
Ronan studied illustration for a year at Kendall College of Art and Design. Currently, he takes ceramics at NCMC and bartends part-time. Next fall, he will continue his education at the University of Michigan. Ronan's hobbies include reading, biking, and playing music.
