| Introduction | Artist Russell Ricks is a second generation artist from the Don Ricks family. Raised in Rexburg, Idaho, Russell grew up in an environment surrounded by creativity every day. It all began as a young child watching his father Don Ricks painting as a hobby while he provided for the young family running a sign business. By about 1969, when Russell was 9 years old, his father founded a national outdoor plein air painting school called, Painting Vacations. Two nationally renown instructors; Sergei Bongart, a Russian native; and Milford Zornes, a water colorist from Southern Utah, taught in the school along with Russell's father. The school ran for about 15 years, giving a solid art instructional foundation to artist Russell Ricks. Currently, Mr. Ricks is represented in Montgomery-Lee Fine Art in Park City, Utah. |
