His acrylic paintings have hung in many galleries and have caught the attention of national publishers. Most recently Rick has been commissioned by Ocean Publishing for a series of art exhibits in conjunction with a new book release, such as Jean-Michael Cousteau’s “Explore the Southeast National Marine Sanctuaries”. In Rick’s marine life paintings his combination of vibrant colors and whimsical style has gained fans across the country.
