Born in Newport Beach, CA in 1953, Rick Wolfryd is a multi-dimensional artist & writer who has spent much of his lifetime developing his unique cultural vision and word craft outside of mainstream art experience. According to Carole Lieff, Santa Barbara-based art dealer and friend of the artist, "I have known Rick Wolfryd for almost 20 years. Rick has always been a maverick artist - and art dealer; a renegade. Nothing has changed. He will not hew to many of the stale conventions (and pretensions) that seem to drive the art (and literature) markets. Rick creates his ‘Outsider Works’ empirically (although he holds BS and MFA degrees), while discovering new parts of himself and his art as he goes along. Recently, Rick has produced the finest creative works, I believe, of his lifetime . . . and it is honest, speculative work.”

Good condition; operating well at time of evaluation.
