About
Thom Ricks has been an professional artist his entire life. Being loyal to his career and curious about the world, he has made his way to far off places from Egypt to New Zealand, from England to Japan, from Brazil to Italy, from Greece to Belize, from Ireland to Mexico sketching and painting his way around the world many many times.
While enjoying living this creative life he has found his way into many collections in and around his home in the Texas Hill Country as well as throughout the US.
Artistically, Thom loves to travel abroad.... he loves to sketches on locations all over the world and then return to his studio to work on the canvases. In his studio he tries to capture the essence of a location through it’s architecture and vivid colors. He translates this spirit onto canvases in compositional and tonal patterns much like a musical score.
Sharing his creative and spiritual journey with his partner and wife Jodi, they have produced six books including "Dare to Dream", "Brilliant", "Tommy's Magic Door" "Love Poems From doG", "Thom Ricks Sketchbook" and "Umbrian Sketches".
