| This Wonderful Oil on Canvas "Into The Light", Marty Ricks, American, b.1961, is in Excellent Condition. Marty Ricks, who was born in Rexburg, Idaho in 1961, was destined to become a painter. The son of artist Don Ricks, all three of his brothers made a living at one time as artists. Despite the calling he felt, he resisted his urge to paint, and at the young age of 17, Ricks began a career as a picture frame maker, creating frames for renowned artists throughout the country. Eventually he opened a store in New York City at 3rd and 57th street. His business prospered, but was almost completely destroyed by the September 11th terrorist attacks. After this infamous day, Ricks re-evaluated his life and resolved to make some changes, most significantly to become a painter. He sites his brother Douglas Ricks as his primary tutor; he has also been influenced by the work of Russell Chatham, George Inness, and Sergei Bongart, who was his father’s teacher and art workshop partner. Aside from these great artists, Ricks feels that nature itself had the largest influence on his work.He says "My work is an attempt to communicate my deep love of the out doors and the spiritual foundation of the natural world". Ricks is an avid hunter and fly-fisher. his favorite locations often become the subjects for his paintings. Measuring Framed size is 64 X 46", Serious Inquiries are Welcome! | |||||||||||
