ARTIST BIO
Rick Spitz graduated from University of Oklahoma with an architectural degree in 1981. In the 80s and 90s, he was commissioned to paint renderings for architects, and developers. During this timeframe he painted over 70 renderings.
In 1988 Rick and his family moved to Greenville SC. CRS Sirrine (now Jacobs) brought Rick in to paint renderings for their major projects. During his time at CRS Sirrine, Rick received his architectural license and was licensed in 48 states.
Growing up in Oklahoma he worked on his family’s ranch where they raised over 3,000 head of Limousin cattle. This influenced several of his paintings. Rick, now retired, continues to paint basing his subject matter on his vivid memories of nature. Being extremely proficient at photography, and widely traveled domestically as well as internationally, Rick also has an eye for subject matter and a vast collection of photography.
Rick is currently taking commissions for oils paintings but prints of his paintings and photography are also available for purchase on his Buy Prints page. Also, you can purchase original paintings as available. See his Originals page to see what is in stock right now.
