- Description:
- Painting by Ronald Lockett.
By the time he was in fourth grade, Ronald Lockett knew that he wanted to be an artist. Supported by his grandmother and his uncle, artist Thornton Dial, Lockett began transforming found materials into works of art. At the age of 22, his work was noticed by a major collector of African American folk art, and he became a full-time artist. Lockett had achieved his career goal at an early age, but his achievement was short-lived. He died of AIDS at the age of 23.
