About the artist
Ronalee Crocker graduated from Emmanuel College with a degree in Fine Art. She also attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Her work is rooted in the classic Dutch and French traditions of fine detail and elegant composition, however her choice of subjects and her fresh view of them are entirely American. Her luminous compositions of fruit and vegetable dare the viewer to reach out and touch the textured rind of a lemon, taste the summer sweetness of the perfectly painted watermelon, and smell the air for a hint of pear.
