Artist Statement
“All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly the soul,” John Ruskin says in
The Stones of Venice. It is the inspiration of the artist’s knowledge and emotion that breathes life into ink,
paper and other media. Without it, art ceases to be anything more than pure decoration. Aesthetic, emotional
or spiritual value derived from art results from self-discovery. This is the true nature of art; Rick Simpson’s art
embodies the essence of this philosophy.

PLEASE NOTE:
We are currently rebuilding our website with a new theme - so temporarily this site is functional, but a construction zone.
Headers, background and certain special new functions will be built in, respectively changed. Additionally, most Slide Shows used to be embedded from our Private Social Network on Ning. Since Ning discontinued Flash some time ago, the space where the embedded slide shows supposed to be is blank!
We are working to fix this as well, but with over 500 pages for artists alone, this will take time.
