Title: Ronnie Raevsky
1Creator of Nature Unchained Ronnie Raevsky
2Ronnie Raevsky is a painter and creative
expressionist who is well known for his nature
and landscape works. While most of his paintings
are done using oil pastels, he also paints with
watercolors. Born in Maysel, West Virginia, he
began to paint his natural surroundings as a
child. It was at the tender age of 8 that he
completed his first painting.
3His mother has noted that he was a very observant
child, and would seem to get lost in the nature
and scenic landscapes. He always enjoyed taking
trips to different places so that he could paint
nature and the environment.
4They lived on their small family estate in
Maysel. Ronnie Raevsky grew up in a tight knit
community of friends and family. All of the
townspeople knew each other, and he always
received a lot of encouragement and support from
those around him. This nurturing environment was
the perfect setting for him to grow and develop
himself into a budding artist. His paintings
were featured in local newspapers and magazine
publications. He won many prizes not only from
schools but also from independent organizations.
5 One of his life changing experiences was his
senior year trip in high school where they
visited the Grand Canyon. It was here that he
painted the panting that is most dear to his
heart, and it is called Nature Unchained.
Inspired by colors of the magnanimous canyon,
Ronnie Raevsky painted an amazing piece of art
that currently stands in his grandfathers
bedroom. This painting is evidence of the fact
that his ability to translate his vision to
creative artistic expression is truly a gift from
God.
6During his formal education, he studied the works
of many famous artists, and he has an amazing
ability to recall in vivid detail any painting
that he has looked at. Although he has studied
Dutch, Russain, and French landscape painters,
Claude Monet is his favorite.
