Rick is a 2020 graduate of the Academy of Realist Art in Boston Masters Program. Often skipping school, Rick spent hours upon hours studying the Old Masters at the local library. He would sit for hours, copying their works in pencil over and over and over again – Degas, Monet, Leonardo became his “friends and family”, to him they were all he knew. It wasn’t until he saw Albrecht Durer’s illustration of a “Young Hare”, it was at that moment, he knew he wanted to be a realistic artist.
