Today I want to feature a local artist that has a great influence in our community. Each one of my children have met in school or at the library. He is a rare artist with an incredible outlook on life and truly inspirational to all he speaks to. His website describes him as "a Christian Artist who is physically blind and Spiritually Sighted." I couldn't agree more.
Ricky lost his sight in two separate freak accidents. While having to give up a great deal of independence it did not deter him form his love of art. He paints in a 3D style with thick paint and molding compounds. His art is displayed in many local businesses in both Mobile and Baldwin county. The uniqueness he displays in all his creations are a beautiful addition to any home. What an extraordinary gift for a loved one and a way to support your local economy and the arts. If your not in my neck of the woods check him out anyway and see if there isn't something you love. Then find the local artist in your neck of the woods and purchase with purpose for a one of a kind gift that gives long beyond the initial purpose.
You can find Ricky here.
