Rick Minard - Artist
My work exists in both the studio and the street. I am a painter and a public artist, and I approach these not as separate activities but as one continuous investigation: how images create meaning, and how visual structure can reflect the structure of human experience.
My studio practice centers on painting, drawing, and printmaking, informed by my background in digital graphic design and my involvement in community mural projects. Across these different contexts, I return to the same core question — how do fragmented parts become a coherent whole? Whether the viewer encounters my work in a gallery or on the side of a building, I want the image to function as a site of recognition, where individual perception meets shared experience.
