Rick”s journey in art, started in college with an art appreciation class that he took as an elective during his freshman year. He was hooked. During free time, he would paint in his dorm room on whatever he could find, walls, doors, and canvas, if he could afford it. “I’m sure the spiderman mural on the wall in 425 Best Hall is still there, covered in new coats of annual paint.” He sold pieces of art to those that enjoyed the outcomes on canvas as much as he enjoyed painting them. After college, Rick opted for a career in business consulting and coaching executives in business.
