About the artist

Rick’s Biography

Rick is an award-winning Santa Barbara-based artist who works in oils on both canvas and board. He received 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 Northern California's back country near his grandparent's ranch in Sebastopol, 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.
