Earlier in his career, he performed as a singer /drummer, with some writing and recording, at the Record Plant NYC and a few other recording studios in Philadelphia. As he continued pursuing his interests, a businessman saw some of his sketches and commissioned him to do a a series of paintings for a cancer center treating children. From there he studied intently … reading the life and letters of Vincent Van Gogh and many of other painters who have left their mark. Learning also from life and travel he gained a wealth of knowledge. Then, through a metamorphosis, Rick became a painter and launched out to capture and render the beautiful world that surrounds us. Some of the themes you will see reflected in his paintings have been influenced by the towns, villages, cities and rural countryside he has visited. His paintings are in homes as far north as Quebec City, Saint Antoine sur Richelieu in Canada, and throughout the U.S. from the East to West Coasts.Various places have shown and sold his work, from high end boutiques in Palmer square, Princeton, N.J., small galleries to upscale Resto/Coffeehouses and Barnes & Noble. Rick also does beautiful faux finishes on request, and has worked on many homes and businesses.
