RON DIER
The new decade has brought about many new avenues to express Ron’s creativity. Adding a lighting line, fused glass, mounted mineral & fossils, the Dier Collection is broader than ever. His migration to Laguna Beach in the mid-90s sparked a renewed energy into his works that coincided with his plunge into the world of orchids. The creation of elegant vessels for the flowers had taken on a delightful new urgency. Ron’s inspirations are wide-ranging and eclectic. From the 1830s farmhouse he once owned in the Berkshires, to an on-going regimen of international travel, he’s constantly exposed to new ideas that keep the gears in a creative mind well oiled. Primitive Aztec pieces, Thai temple jars, Japanese hibachis and classic Greek vases have all made an impact on his constantly evolving collection.Art specifiers for the emerging market that is upscale hotels and casinos in Las Vegas took notice. Bellagio, Wynn Encore and now the newly redone Aria all have pieces from Dier on permanent display.
