Paintings

Born and raised in New England, Rick has been creating art since childhood.
He studied Painting at Massachusetts Collage of Art and Design. His work is a reaction to 9-11 and a reflection of his introspective nature. “About three months after the tragic events of that day, I stood in the window of my studio looking down onto the street. How different everything seemed. From this vantage point I could photograph people and no one noticed. I became fascinated by the “birds-eye” perspective of people passing by, with their long figure shadow patterns; and how the voyeuristic advantage point somewhat obscures the identity, creating a physical and emotional distance. To this day, I continue to watch people walking, running or just puttering. I wonder who they are and where they are going. They travel in clusters yet each remain isolated.”
