Feature Artist Bio
By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Rick Delanty (born 1951 in Santa Rosa, California).
Rick has been creating artwork in the studio and on location for over three decades. Rick learned to appreciate his hilly and rural northern California surroundings at a young age, through hiking the hills and running competitive cross-country. He turned that appreciation of nature into paintings and drawings, and carried that into high school art classes, then into university training as he pursued degrees in English literature and studio art at UC Santa Barbara, and also earned his teaching credential there.
Rick Delanty came to San Clemente, California in 1974 as an arts instructor at the city’s high school, where he taught drawing and painting for 32 years. Rick saw many of his students enter careers in the arts. Upon retirement from teaching in 2006, Rick became a professional painter in portraying landscapes and seascapes throughout the United States, in a style that he terms “expressionistic realism,” an exuberant calligraphy of color and brushstroke which conveys emotion and movement within a realistic setting.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
“My body of work is about the revelation of the divine power of God’s creation in nature. It is my hope that those who connect with my work will be uplifted, to reflect on the original works of God that surround us.”
"In all our Maker's grand designs,
Omnipotence, with wisdom, shines;
His works, through all this wondrous frame,
Declare the glory of his Name."
--Thomas Blacklock
