Much of Ricky’s work centers on vintage and abandoned manmade structures. He is especially drawn to the quiet tension between the built environment and the natural world—where light, shadow, and creeping greenery reveal the slow reclaiming of human spaces by nature. His subjects often tell a layered story: places once carefully designed, constructed, and celebrated, now fading, yet still echoing their original beauty and intention.

His oil paintings are frequently based on photographs he’s taken throughout New England and during his travels around the world, capturing moments where history, atmosphere, and nature intersect.

This show will remain on exhibit through August 10th. The Next Stage Gallery is open during events, and by appointment with the artist or by contacting Next Stage at info@nextstagearts.org or (802) 451-0053.
