about the artist:
Ramon Murillo was born in Pocatello Idaho into a family who highly valued art and culture. Thus, he developed a passion for art at an early age.

He went on to receive a B.F.A. from Idaho State University, an M.F.A. in printmaking at the University of Oregon, and a Post Graduate degree in Non-toxic Printmaking, Grand Prairie Regional College, Canada.
Ramon's art is held in the permanent collections of several major art museums, including Smithsonian Art Institute, Washing D.C., Victoria and Albert Museum, Londan England, Seattle Art Museum, Montana Art Museum, Portland Art Museum, Washington State Museum of History.
