Born in York, Pennsylvania Rick started his artistic life early. Rick's mother was amazed that, as a toddler learning to walk, he was already drawing pictures with advanced detail and accuracy! Before his teens Rick could paint portraits with striking accuracy and detail. He was receiving commissions for his art work even before graduating high school.

Rick has attended three years of vocational art training at the York Vocational School. Some of his work is now on display in museums in Pennsylvania. When Rick graduated he married and moved to Texas.

Texas, with its cattle and horse ranches, was a new experience for Rick. He felt that the life of a cowboy was a contrast to urban stress and painting cowboy life an escape from the fast pace.

In the 80's Rick traveled all across the United States and Canada demonstrating his art technique. He even ventured into graphic art at this time and was featured in magazines and on TV shows. His designs have been sold nationwide by a major chain store.

In the 90's he came full circle back to fine art, his real passion. In recent years, Rick's work has been seen and sold through galleries and he has received numerous commissions for his art.

Today, Rick resides in Colorado with his wife, Jody. They have been married for over 28 years and now enjoy their life together in southwest Colorado, where the beautiful San Juan Mountains are a true inspiration.
