Ronald Maddox was an accomplished and successful British artist, designer and illustrator.
Born in Purley, Surrey, he studied at St. Albans School of Art before serving with the Air Ministry Design Service. He completed his studies at Regent Street Polytechnic in London from 1949-51, and the London College of Printing.
From 1953 to 1962 Maddox worked as an art director for advertising agencies in London, then as a freelance artist illustrator and graphic designer. Between 1972 and 1989 Maddox worked extensively for the Post Office and the Royal Mail, designing stamps, stamp book covers, first day presentation packs, posters and charts. His stamps typically feature British architecture, rural life and the countryside. He also produced posters for British Rail.
Maddox was a prominent member of many professional societies and received many awards for his work as an artist and designer. Maddox excelled at architectural work, reproducing the textures and patterns of buildings, but he is perhaps best known for his topographical art works, which explore the shapes and design of landforms.
Maddox exhibited his original paintings in many mixed shows in London and regional galleries, including the Royal Academy, the Pastel Society, the Royal Society of British Arts and the Royal Watercolor Society. Today, examples of his work are in the collections of the Fry Gallery and the Tate. His work is also held in many prestigious private collections, having been acquired by HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, the Sultanate of Oman, Barclays Banks, the BBC, British Rail and the Post Office.
Maddox lived with his wife in Digswell, Welwyn, Hertfordshire. He died on 4 November 2018 at the age of 88.

This original watercolor painting by Ronald Maddox is of the Jurassic Coastline in Dorset. It features the winding South West Coast Path, looking westwards towards Bats Head. This section of the coast path is in the region of Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. We see the white chalk cliffs and beautiful undulating coastline, forming rocky coves and bays. There are three seagulls flying in the mid-ground and a few small yachts in the distance. The sea and the sky are shades of blue and the land is grassy, in shades of green. Overall, this is both an interesting and mellow image.
