Ronaldo Byrd was born in Brooklyn, NY and began painting at the tender age of three. While living in New York City as a child, he was accepted to and attended the Art Instruction School, which boasts graduates such as Charles Schulz of “Peanuts” fame. Ronaldo was then accepted to and attended the High School of Art and Design before moving to Burlington, NJ with his family. Byrd went on to earn his diploma in Graphic Arts from The Burlington County Institute of Technology. Byrd and his artwork have been featured in several magazines and newspapers, including The Philadelphia Inquirer. He has also been featured on CBS 3 Eyewitness News. Byrd is also a philanthropist who dedicates his time and talents by volunteering for Autism Speaks.
Byrd says this about his artwork:
My artwork is an extension of who I am. The bold and bright colors that I use represent the way I see the world. There is beauty in everything I see and everyone has something to offer. My art and I represent differences and my hope is that the world can see beauty and acceptance through my eyes—-the eyes of an artist.
