Ron Shelton relocated to Cleveland from Columbus Ohio in 2003.   He is a multi-media artist who produced several ice installation projects this winter. Winter is one of Ron’s favorite seasons.

Ron has become acutely aware of the plastic problem as a result of featuring seven artists from around the world who are using discard waste material to draw attention to this menace.  Ron’s recent installations in CAN Triennial, Lakewood Light in sight, and Rooms to Let, all addressed this plastic epidemic.

He is curator/publisher at High Art Fridays (HAF), an online art magazine, which features international artists who share a common contemporary art aesthetics.  HAF is becoming a beacon for a worldwide environmental voice and narrative.  For the past two years, HAF has taken a close look at what artists are saying about the plastic epidemic and the toll it has taken on the environment.
