NONPROFIT

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts (RMHC CTMA) operates on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child – especially not where they will lay their head at night. Ronald McDonald House ® of Connecticut and Ronald McDonald House of Springfield, serve as a “home away from home” for families with seriously ill children, making it possible for children from around the state, the country and the globe to access specialized and life-saving treatments not available in their local communities.

ARTIST

The children at Ronald McDonald House in Springfield with Art Director Ray Talbot

Connecticut native Ray Talbot has been taking art classes ever since his sophomore year in high school. Now a student at the University of Hartford Art School, where he is majoring in Visual Communication Design with a minor in Marketing, Ray has tackled projects dealing with branding, typography, package design, website layout, magazine layout, and even motion design. Outside of the design world Ray enjoys not only painting, but also photography and video editing. The WEHA Bear Fair is Ray’s first art project outside of college and the very first art piece he has created for the benefit of the West Hartford community.
