Rick is an award winning Santa Barbara based artist who works
in oils
on both canvas and board. He recieved formal training in biological
illustration at California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland
Ca. Born in 1953 he spent his early years soaking up the beauty
of the Northern California's back country near his grandparent's
ranch in Sebastapol, California. The vision of those undeveloped
vistas has remained strong throughout the years and is still to
date a strong influence in his work. Relying on a love of nature,
an interest in the California Plein Air movement as well as commercial
training in realism he has created a unique blend of style and
vision.
