original paintings That Invite You to See Life Differently
Through expressive color, light, and perspective, my work explores the extraordinary hidden within ordinary places and everyday moment.
Hi, I'm Rick.
I didn't begin painting until I was 38 years old.
What began as a way through grief became a lifelong pursuit of discovering beauty, simplifying what matters, and seeing familiar things with fresh eyes.
Whether I'm painting a harbor, an abstract composition, or an ordinary street, I'm less interested in documenting a place than revealing how it feels to experience it.
WHY I PAINT
I believe Art has the power to slow us down.
To help us notice. To remind us that beauty is often hiding in places we've stopped seeing.
Every painting begins with that hope.
