The Gypsy's Paradise |
About the Artist An artist whose work consistently expresses a fascination with light and it's articulation of colour and pattern. Paintings include both representational and non-representational impressions taken from a rich backdrop of objective and subjective personal experience. Subject matter is not limited by any specific intellectual purpose or statement and remains true to a direct response to rhythmical patterns of light and the interactive nature of colour. Painting surfaces reflect Rick's love of the medium and creative process with brushwork that exemplifies a bold and direct approach. His paintings are developed with an interest in different formative processes using oils and watermedia. |
Passage Within |
Born in Vancouver, BC, Rick has a varied background in mechanical design/engineering and business development as well as fine art. These parallel careers have provided a wealth of inspiration and experience through international travel and fellowship. His extensive training through University and College short course programs and many artists workshops and participation in peer associations have honed his artist abilities to the extent that he is highly regarded as an instructor and mentor to emerging and established artists. |
In Tuscan Shadows |
In additional to being a prolific artist, Rick is in demand as a workshop instructor and was the driving force that led to the establishment of the Foundation Education Program of the Federation of Canadian Artists. |
Market Mozaic |
Rick is a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (SFCA) and is an active instructor in their Foundation Program. The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, the Federation of Canadian Artists, and the Northwest Watercolour Society (NWWS) have exhibited his award-winning paintings. Work was also published in the International Artists magazine, October/November 1999 and April/May 2004. |
|
Rick's work is represented in numerous commercial galleries in Canada and the United States and is part of corporate and private collections in Canada, the US, Japan, Britain and Europe. |
