2019 was pretty much a breakout year for me in several ways. For starters, a new website (https://www.rontaylorcrouch.com), urged on me by my millenial sons, who told me pointblank, “Nobody knows or cares who ‘Ralph Art’ is – use your real name.” They also said I talked too much on the Ralphart.com website. “Just show your art and don’t ramble on.” So if you want…
Upcoming show – Solo Show[Down] 2019 at FWCAC

Many thanks to Leo Wesson and Kipp Baker for agreeing to participate with me in this endeavor, and especially…
