After being the official artist for the Grammy Awards in the 1990s, Salamon began painting more personal work of his family, friends and fellow artists. Portraiture has remained a significant interest throughout his career. His subjects currently vary widely from narrative scene paintings to allegorical compositions to everyday objects. Salamon has been an Adjunct Professor at various colleges and has lectured at museums including the Orange County Museum of Art. Salamon has produced dozens of short films, creates figurative sculptures in various mediums and is also a curator and musician. Salamon has exhibited widely for 30 years. He has had 5 solo museum exhibits, over 30 solo gallery shows and his work can be found in the permanent collection of over a dozen of museums.
CBS-LA named Ron Azevedo as one of the ‘Most Artistic Photographers in Orange County’ for his worldwide approach to photography. In 2015 Ron was named to CBS-LA list of top five “Best OC Photographers To Follow On Instagram”. From the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine, to the frozen terrain of the Arctic Norway, Ron strives to waken viewers to the beauty, history and diversity of the world and to cultures so different from our own.

Malcolm Warner joined Laguna Art Museum as Executive Director in January 2012. Previously he was Deputy Director at the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas; Senior Curator of Paintings and Sculpture at the Yale Center for British Art; and Curator of European Art at the San Diego Museum of Art.
