Rick holds a BFA from Jacksonville State University, and teaches workshops regularly in his studio.   In my artwork I work in both acrylics and watercolors, painting the things that he finds to be beautiful.   Rick finds that beauty sometimes can be found in the forgotten and the historical memories of our past and culture.  With my Card making and crafting I like clean lines with lots of color which I use my art skills and training to produce my cards.   I enjoy teaching classes, I love to be able to help others see that they can create something beautiful.
Rick came to art at an early age: he would lie in the floor and draw what his father referred to as stickmen.   Rick’s loves for art lead him to give up his day job and pursue art full time two years ago.    Rick has shown in several group and solo shows, both regionally and nationally.   Rick has work in two museum collections and in private collections in the region as well as both nationally and internationally.
His work can be seen both at his studio and on his website (www.rckinsmonstudio.net) .
