Rick's Story
Rick was first introduced and fell in love with printmaking and sculpture at Capilano College, Emily Carr College of Art and Design, and at the University of British Columbia.
Years as an Art teacher in the Coquitlam School District and later his years working as a General Contractor, in construction, have guided his approach to the technical based mediums of printmaking and sculpture. In addition, Rick has worked as a studio technician for a variety of artists, and as a contract artist in the film industry, and as a specialized commission artist.
Nature dominates Rick’s imagery, structures, and concepts. These are gathered from his wanderings throughout the province.

Printmaking is the art of replication. Nature exists because it replicates. A seed and a woodcut plate live in parallel; they are born and are shaped by their environment. I conceive of my plates with a mind to encourage the chance of minor variations. For me this makes each print more alive. Authentic.
