Rick Storey

Rick Storey was born in White Plains, NY in 1969, grew up in Ardsley, NY and now resides with his wife and 16 year-old daughter in Southbury, CT. A self-taught artist, art has consistently had a profound influence in all aspects of his life. Rick has always used his artistic creativity in some way or another while drawing portraits, studying architecture, carpentry, painting, as well as interior and landscape design.

When painting, Rick puts his entire sense of being on the canvas. His heart, mind and consciousness make up each individual piece of artwork. Rick's goal is that his audience sees something in his work that they have never seen before. What he sees is not what everyone else sees. As it should be. He doesn't want you to see his vision. He wants you to see YOUR vision. You are encouraged to take it in and make it your own.

Rick relishes this process that drives him crazy and yet makes him sane. He has found his passion in abstract acrylic art, as it pushes him to clear his mind and start fresh with each new blank canvas. Ultimately, Rick's desire is that as you walk by his paintings, one might strike you and evoke questions, thoughts, and emotions within yourself that may bring clarity and peace to your life as it...
