Sailfish Sunrise - 48" x 48" Oil Painting on Canvas in 2025 show

This Oil Painting was created with layers of thin glazes worked on over time to get just the right light that I encountered many a time out on a boat off South Florida Waters. It celebrates the Atlantic angler’s favorite sportfish.

Thru Aug 2023 - In jupiter, fl-prints from "fish tales" show

Stop by the Lighthouse ArtCenter located at 373 Tequesta Dr to view and purchase 11 of Ron Garrett's prints specially curated for this show, together with works from talented artists from Miami to Stuart, FL

Etchings on this wall highlight Garrett’s love of living by the coast, playfully reaching for the Beachcomber in all of us! He cleverly uses traditional printmaking approaches, infused with bits and pieces of satire. His love for the everyday ‘fisher folk’ and their lifestyles is apparent throughout his narrative storyboard etchings of life along the water’s edge. These deeply etched images on zinc harken back to the days of Callot, Goya and Rembrandt.

"Okeechobee Joe" is a large 48" x 60" Multi Image Oil/Mixed Media/Linocut on canvas. Garrett’s multi-media relief block storyboard style-often depicts a “Pop” art approach, reminiscent of the days of Warhol and late 20th Century movements.

"Manatee Lament" en route from Studio

This ‘tearful’ life size gentle giant of South Florida waterways has recently been under attack by green algae proliferation, starvation from lack of its food source - seagrass, boat motor lacerations and plastic waste.

#3: Red Tide – 38” x 42”

(Mixed-Media Oil Painting on Canvas with Recycled wood frame)

This satirical textured oil painting, is inspired by “red tide”, an algae bloom triggered in coastal waters. Schools of fish get caught up in the Gulf Stream waters, and our beaches regularly encounter bloated fish that wash ashore.

Manatee Lagoon

#4: Manatee Lagoon – 49” x 37”

(Oil Painting on Canvas)

Inspired by a tranquil hidden lagoon where manatees gather to rest in waters bathe in moonlight above, this painting uses layers of glazes and draws the viewer in at eye level, as if looking into an aquarium of manatees or snorkeling the canals with them.

Sun Sentinel - Earth Day highlight

Artist Ron Garrett being interviewed about his painting - Canoe Trip at the Art Gallery at PBI

CANOE TRIP - Acrylic on Canvas 41" x 53" an animated playful painting, represents many journeys taken on Florida's rivers and waterways. Growing up along Jupiter's canals created a deep sense of place for me as an artist. Its steamy environments decorated my childhood, vividly etching lush landscapes and wildlife into my imagination. With each stroke of the paddle and brush, I hope to take the viewer through enchanted river banks peppered with cabbage palm, live oak, and "playful elements" like canoes and fallen logs - extending our experience of a leisure odyssey!

3 Original Graphite/Mixed Media Oil Paintings Selected

Exploring Climate issues for me as an artist, is profoundly influenced by maritime events, and the power of storms. Earth's surface is routinely reshaped by hurricanes, which merges at-risk environments, including many human endeavors.

The 3 Works featured in this show - "Spillway", "Spiral Jetty" and "Aftermath" are oil paintings built on canvas layering the surface with debris and found objects, then painting over them in layers, finally adding a patina of graphite to highlight the work. The absence of color is meant to jar our imagination to signify the threats of man’s encroachment on land and sea.

Boca magazine - "Artists Probe, Lament Climate Change in Cultural Council Exhibit"

"Three selections from Ron Garrett inspire a similar sense of awe at Gaia’s reaction to anthropogenic climate disruption. Mixing media with salvaged objects, his staggering “Aftermath” assesses the carnage left by a superstorm.

Highland Beach Library presents - Trifecta, Nov-Dec 2019

Garrett brings a selection of Reductive Woodcuts from his show highlighting Biscayne National Parks 50th Anniversary celebration. These pieces hang in Highland Beach City Hall. Monoprints of sunken ships off Hutchinson Island are also featured in the Building Department.

The entire show featuring the sunken ships of the Maritime Heritage Trail are on sale at the Elliott Museum in Hutchinson Island till Dec. 1st

The main Community Center Room in the Library features bold, playful satirical work, and spans several decades of Garrett’s love of the sea, reaching for the Beachcomber in all of us! He cleverly uses traditional etching and woodcut approaches, infused with bits and pieces of humor. His love for the everyday ‘fisher folk’ and their lifestyles is apparent throughout his narrative storyboard etchings of life along the water’s edge. Garrett’s style-often depicts a “Pop” art approach, and the show includes vibrant watercolors, drawings and textured paintings.

Finally, in the Rotunda on the west side of the Library and in the hallways, Garrett has large Graphite/Mixed Media Assemblage paintings of natural disasters, and sculptures of sunken ships. Each piece sings its own special song of the tragedy of lives lost and the bravery of the human spirit. The focus is on the poetry of the forces of nature, decay, as well as the corrosive power of saltwater on human endeavors
