Ron Wood and Christian Karl Janssen

They met in a barren desert field. Together, Ron Wood and Christian Karl Janssen formed Ron Wood Architectural Art Glass, LLC. After seven years, their artwork is celebrated internationally.

Light intrigues them. Life inspires them. Their work is dedicated to elevating the spirit. Ron Wood began to draw and paint as a small boy. He studied art at Long Beach State College after receiving BA degrees in Sociology and Rhetorical Theory. Janssen awoke from a trauma-induced coma in 1993. Extensive rehabilitation preceded convergence of the left and right sides of the brain. Janssen's lifelong passions for manifestation led to Art Center College of Design, Oakland University, Gnomon, Mount San Jacinto College, a formal apprenticeship with Ron Wood, and international artwork commissions.

Together, Ron and Christian have completed architectural glass projects for the Four Seasons Miami; Grand Stair Balustrades, Promenade Sculptures, The Four Seasons San Francisco; Hotel Main Lobby Sculptures, R17; Rapid Transit Station Canopy, Sculpture and Curtain Walls in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Ritz Carlton Battery Park New York; Main Lobby Vitrine Panels, 2 West Restaurant Mirrors, Ritz Carlton Central Park New York; Main Bar Wine Display Panels and many more astonishing works of artistic function and display.

Currently Ron and Christian are working on several projects with Glass Artists Gallery. One project features a suspended Zen Garden in glass. Collaborating with blown glass for the “rocks”, the design of raked sand and moss integrating with the dimensionality of the rocks above and below a plane of 1/2” starfire glass is suspended above a dining room table.
