Rick is a very private, family oriented man. He lives in South Central Austin, Texas where every day thinking out of the box is the norm. Using Texas as home-base, he has traveled much of the USA, Western Europe, the Caribean, Mexico and Central America. On each trip he has made new friends, enjoyed the art, fishing, and cuisine, and the sharing of the experience with family and extended family.
On these adventures Rick's dreams are stimulated and a creative recharge takes place – and this is usually followed by prolific painting.
Rick has an American bulldog named Lulu Belle who accompanies him to the Pedernales River to run, kayak, fish, swim, hike, and to reflect on the life and death that surrounds the canyon lands. This is his refuge and main creative source.
Rich is also a master gardener, gourmet chef, and has a sense of humor much enjoyed by his family and friends!
