I'm pretty sure I saw this the last time I drove up the canyon...

About Ricky:

I was born and raised in Utah, enduring weekly earthquake drills at school and lessons about the apocalypse and the "evils of the world" on Sundays.

 

I felt somewhat safe and protected, surrounded by Mormons and the Rocky Mountains, but as I grew older, I got a bit of courage and ventured out of my hometown. I lived in Germany, England, Taiwan, Seattle and New England. I was reshaped by my travels and embraced many types of people and new ways of thinking.

During my time in New England, my wife and I had two children. I received a BFA from MassArt and an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design. We now live in Tornado Alley in Kansas City, Missouri where I teach painting and drawing at UMKC.
