Ronald King was born in Sao Paulo, and grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Between 1946-50 he attended Ardingly College in Sussex, England, after which he studied painting at Chelsea School of Art, London from 1951-55. During the late 1950s he lived and worked in Canada and briefly in New York, working in a variety of commercial publishing companies, while also teaching art part time in Toronto. On his return to England in 1960 he continued to lecture at Farnham School of Art, Surrey, but in 1967 established The Circle Press, with the artist Ian Tyson. The Press aimed to involve collaborations between visual artists, poets and writers and published many innovative examples of book art and screenprints. The Circle Press continues today and was celebrated in June 2002 in a large exhibition in New Haven, Connecticut.
