In part 2 of my interview with Rick Stevens, we get a little more philosophical and talk about letting go of the ego, fear, and answering almost unanswerable Zen Koan questions.
Originally from Sparta, Michigan, Rick began painting alongside his father who painted plein-air landscapes. Later, he studied art at Rick Kendall College of Art and Design and ultimately received his degree from Aquinas College.
His work has been exhibited throughout the U.S, including solo exhibits at the Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Muskegon Museum of Art and the Brauer Museum of Art.
