Rick Gallant lives in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He is a relative newcomer to the art scene. With no formal training and ambitiuos intentions, his formative years as an artist favoured pencil, pen and ink drawings. He was apprehensive about colour until 6 years ago when he made the leap into acrylic painting.
Today, Rick paints for the love of it and with great hopes of continuing to sell his work and hosting his own exhibit.. His style is realism and his subject matter is beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Rick thanks his high school teacher who always told him that if you can draw then you can paint. As a result, he has produced over 50 new works and completed several commissions.
" What can I say about Rick's works of art but that it is simply stunning! Rick has a way of capturing scenic splendour that is both awe inspiring and breath taking to behold. He is able to capture not only the subject of his work but is also able to attach an emotion to each piece of original art, which in the end, enhances the beauty of his subject. I am so very blessed to own 2 original pieces from Rick and am ecstatic to include his works along with other Canadiana originals I currently have in my collection.” February 14, 2011
