ARTIST & PAINTER
Recognizing and translating to canvas candid moments in nature promises us something better; a rebirth of our spirit. When light plays a role in that moment, it lends itself to an even deeper level of inspiration and understanding.
Natural places and wild creatures intrigue me the most. As a painter, the process of choosing subject matter is as involved and fulfilling as the painting itself. I enjoy the excitement of that process, and ultimately, the creation of the vision.
I accept painting commissions and especially welcome the opportunity to paint a portrait of your loved one or pet! I also teach group painting lessons at my studio twice a week during evening hours, and I lead Sip & Paint parties at my studio in downtown Tryon, North Carolina, or at your preferred local venue. You can learn more about each of these on this website. Enjoy, and feel free to contact me directly at Rickenbaker@icloud.com should you have any questions.
