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 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 each week during evening hours at Terry's Custom Framing and Art Gallery in Conway, South Carolina, and I lead Sip & Paint parties at my location or yours. 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.
