There has to be a very good reason why he is known as “Airbrush” Ron Hernandez in every corner of northern and central Vermont. Actually there are many very good reasons why he has been considered the region’s premier airbrush artist for several decades. 

It has been widely held that you can’t teach creativity. A look at any of his murals proves that Airbrush Ron Hernandez was born creative. He learned the technique and command of his tools by studying and getting his degree at the School of Visual Arts in his home town of New York City. His graduate school of creativity was honed working his way through art school at Max’s Kansas City, at the time the hot spot of the avante guarde, including Andy Warhol, and the finest musicians and artists of the decade. Later, he moved to Woodstock, New York and lived in Bob Dylan’s Birdcliff House in the heart of Woodstock’s creative community and continued to paint and exhibit his work. He spent another 15 years working in Key West creating airbrush murals in nationally famous watering holes, airbrushing banners and graphic designs for annual festivals and even becoming known throughout Key West as the go-to airbrush artist for the best body painting and for special events. Tired of the glam-pop life style of Key West, he relocated to Burlington and set up shop 15 years ago and began building his reputation and his following as Airbrush Ron Hernandez.

If there is ever any doubt that he is at the top of his game these days, after more than 50 years as a creative visual artist, his ever-expanding body of work speaks volumes. As a master airbrush artist, he has created colorful and unforgettable images ranging from the “Buddah Building,” adjacent to Burlington Electric Company on Pine Street, to designs on a Vermont Railway engine, band tour buses and small town library bookmobiles. His Endangered Species Mural in the atrium and hallway at Main Street Landing at the corner of College and Lake Street on Burlington’s historic waterfront is nothing short of breathtaking. Other Waterfront locations boasting Airbrush Ron Hernandez murals include Esperanza Restaurant and Splash at the Community Boat House and the Waterfront Diving Center at Battery & Maple Streets. Both the Vermont Historical Society in Montpelier and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum are home to his work. Airbrush Ron Hernandez often works on smaller palates for example, such as stone slates, motorcycle gas tanks and helmets, car and truck graphics, signage and even tee shirt designs for clients.
