New Project: Mead Panther

Rick is beginning work on his next big project: a life-size panther sculpture to be displayed at Mead high school (Spokane, WA), home of the Panthers! Look for photos of the panther in progress--coming soon!

Ganesh Update--coming soon to Spokane Yoga Shala!

As you can see, Rick's Ganesh sculpture is coming along nicely. The head and limbs are pretty much finished, and he is now working on Ganesh's rotund belly. Stay tuned for pictures of the finished sculpture! It will be on display at Spokane Yoga Shala when it is done.

Scrapfish!

Rick has been making what he calls "scrapfish" from scrap metal for some time now. Last year, he was pleased to have the opportunity to create a large scrapfish installation at the home of Scott and Bridget Mayfield of Fish Lake, WA. This piece, along with the Ganesh statue and a St. Francis statue, represent Rick's interest in sculpting larger, more public installations.

This scrapfish guards the Mayfield's brand new shop, and can be seen from the highway!

The Ganesh Project

Rick is currently working on a life-size statue of the Hindu god Ganesh. Right now, he has the head of Ganesh finished and is beginning to work on the body. Ganesh has the head of an elephant and the body of a man. Here are photos of the head as well as photos of Ganesh in his early stages. Rick's Ganesh statue will be displayed at Spokane Yoga Shala this summer!

god of intellect

and letters

he brings obstacles
when you need them and removes
them when you need them
