Ron Terada lives and works in Vancouver. He studied at University of British Columbia, Emily Carr Institute and Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Terada is well known for Entering City of Vancouver (2002), a made-to-scale highway sign referring to regional identification and the difficulty with geographically defined exhibitions, which has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. His work began in the field of painting, but has since expanded to include neon signs, multi-media sculpture, installation, and most recently, small colour photographs.
