PENCE GALLERY. Artist Ronald Peetz has been a stalwart part of the regional art scene since the late 1960s. As an object maker and sculptor, he delights in incorporating puns, word play, and irreverent humor into his work. Starting with his concept, he chooses any one of the many media he employs, to best make his idea come to life. In so doing, his sculpture and mixed media pieces lean heavily towards social critique and parody, blended with a lighter touch of humor and surrealism.
