Garth is a favorite here in Sisters and a long time friend of the Rickards family. He loves fly fishing and the great outdoors, so he often finds himself admiring the landscapes surrounding him, imagining how they would translate to canvas.

​

Over the years he's developed his own concept of realism, allowing shapes and colors to weave together until the image appears. He uses palette knife technique to create his eye- catching aspens and dramatic landscapes, building up the paint and then cutting it away. Whenever he approaches a canvas, he's intentional about enjoying the process which always makes for an exciting reveal of new pieces.
