ARTIST BIO

Ric is a self-taught photographer, with no specific photographic genre and considers any subject a potential photograph. He strives to keep his art simple and prefers to focus on the smaller components of an otherwise bigger picture. Ric relishes working in snow where the clutter can be neutralized, and the subject is never in doubt. Being that Ric is inspired by 20th century surrealist painters, he does, on occasion, insert an unrelated prop into a scene, his way of provoking thought and mystery.

Although Ric’s most popular work has been focused near his northwestern Pennsylvania home, his portfolio contains images from all over the United States and Canada.

Ric lives in Meadville, PA and his portfolio shows that he is a traveler. To view more of his work, visit his webpage at ricardofgilsonphotography.com or on Facebook at Ricardo F Gilson Photography.
