Testimonials:
- “Rick is not only an excellent artist but was also extremely helpful and communicative through the whole process of creating my commission.
I appreciate how thorough he was in understanding the family member I was asking him to draw, and I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a special and thoughtful gift!”
• Lillian Groth
- “I commissioned a couple of pieces of portrait art from Rick, with quite specific requirements – Rick executed the pieces perfectly and I’m over the moon with how good they are. Highly recommend.”
• Ben Burston
- “We wanted something special for our son and son-in-law for Christmas, a portrait of their beloved dog.
We’ve been impressed by the emotion in Rick’s portraiture.
They loved it, and it was an emotional moment.
A commission is a leap of faith, but we knew he’d do a wonderful job.”
