National Park Artist Residencies
Rick spent nearly 3 weeks living and working at Capitol Reef National Park as an Artist in Residence in the fall of 2021. He found great inspiration in the redrock landscape of this Utah park. He presented a public program in late-September at the Entrada Institute in the nearby town of Torrey, and he has since created many new paintings based on his time at this amazing park. Rick previously served as Artist in Residence at Mesa Verde National Park in 2019.
