Rick’s work is primarily intuitive, characterized by innovation and experimentation. He “invents� and portrays imaginary objects and figures not seen in reality. To give life to his creations, he draws from both representational and nonobjective genre. The resulting works contrast images of fantasy and beauty, darkness and humor. The individual viewer’s vision, imagination, and experiences shape the interpretation of each image. Rick’s themes involve deeply personal and current social issues, but also include whimsical and interpretive elements from nature, both real and imagined.
