ARTIST BIO
GROWING up on a working cattle ranch in Oklahoma, Rick Spitz spent a lot of time in nature, seeing both its wonder and its fury. It inspired him and influenced a deep passion—a passion that is evident in his oil paintings.
Now, the retired architect devotes his time to one of his greatest loves: painting. Naturally, Spitz’s passion for nature and its beauty comes out in high relief on the canvas, with a perspective that paints a dynamic, vibrant and captivating view.
“I try to paint in a way that shows how stunning a thunderstorm can be, the energy in a waterfall, I absolutely love nature and capturing a beautiful landscape or beautiful cloud formation on canvas.”
Clouds, in fact, are a particular point of interest for Spitz, who studied meteorology in school.
Clouds are incredible—the way that they form, the unique shapes that they take and the ways that they offer prelude to what is to come.
Spitz works mainly in oils, though he is also known to step away from the canvas and pick up a camera. Above all, he has an eye for detail and a dedication to showing as much as possible.
The well-traveled artist loves being in nature and exploring other countries to see different sights and capture them on canvas, from the waterfalls of Croatia to the Mesa Verde in New Mexico and Arizona. Rick’s artwork can be viewed in person at the Lowcountry Artists Gallery in Charleston, South Carolina and the Perspective Gallery in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.
