BIOGRAPHY
| A native of northern California, Rick Delanty demonstrates an expressive, bold brushwork in his acrylic and watercolor paintings of landscapes, seascapes, and historical subjects. The artist often finds his inspiration and subject matter while running or swimming, and returns to the site to draw on location. He completes the work from photographs or memory in his studio.
An exuberant calligraphy is the hallmark of his style, an "expressionistic realism" which evokes the California coastline, and his travels in the Northwest and Atlantic seaboard.
Delanty has served as an arts educator for more than 30 years, and has established his studio in San Clemente, California. Several Orange County galleries have represented his work, as well as the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts, Muckenthaler Cultural Center, and Mission San Juan Capistrano. Delanty's originals are included in corporate and private collections throughout the United States.
Delanty has also appeared on 'Up Close and Personal', on channel 39 in Orange County. |
