He attended Emily Carr Outreach Programs, Okanagan College, Federation of Canadian Artists workshops and MISSA at Pearson College in Victoria for his training.

The look is loose and somewhat representational. He's been called a visionary and practical artist who tends to express himself in simple turns. Rick had many group and solo exhibitions since 1985. Group shows have been held with the Okanagan Artists League members at the FCA Gallery in Vancouver, public galleries in Armstrong and Vernon and private galleries in Kelowna, White Rock and Vancouver. He has had solo shows in Vernon, Armstrong. Kelowna, Victoria and Vancouver. Rick is also an active instructor specializing in watercolour and acrylics.
