This series of paintings came from spending time in our park in the Okanagan, this spring in and around Madeira Park on the Sunshine Coast and this summer in Ucluelet.

Rick Enjoys using the vibrance of colour, energy and a somewhat loose brushstroke style to express the aesthetic of the experience.

Rick Bond sees “the world as an empty canvas, full of possibilities, in which forms and stories are the manifestations of energy in constant movement and change.” His work is evolving with a more contemplative and imaginary approach to his genres as well as a continuing exploration of the colour palette and its effects on mood and overall feeling.

Rick and his wife live in the North Okanagan Valley surrounded by majestic lakes, mountains and valleys. He feels a strong connection to both the land and his community and is very engaged in life both inside and outside the studio. When he is not painting Rick loves to travel, mentor fellow artists and jury art competitions. He is a passionate explorer above all else which leaves the viewer with the wonderful shared experience of his travels and life journey which he so playfully and joyfully captures on canvas.
