Rick Fleury "On the threshold of prominence" 
About the artist: Born and raised in Massachusetts, Rick Fleury has been painting coastal landscapes of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Maine for more than ten years. A self-taught artist, his work has appeared in many Cape Cod shows and galleries as well as in juried shows in Cambridge, Boston and Florida.

He now lives and works in Wellfleet. Recent and current exhibitions: Rick is currently a featured artist in a very successful show at Diana Levine's gallery.

His work was recently included in an exhibition of New Additions to the Permanent Collection in the new wing of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. He was recently featured in a solo exhibition at the Cape Cod Museum of Art through June 25, 2006, then opened his new Rick Fleury Studio and Gallery "...In the Heart of NoCo," in Provincetown, June 30, 2006. The artist was also recently featured in a one-week solo exhibition a the Old Selectmen’s Building in Barnstable, Labor Day, 2006. On My Current Work: I'm reaching for the spiritual experience of the landscape.The landscape in its purest form --of simplicity and complexity,as it is, and as it was, undisturbed and uninterrupted by man. I find myself drawn ever closer to the structure and simplicity of the landscape. I continue to look to simplify my approach --both in what I see, and what I choose to capture in paint -- while at the same time, to reach for more complex challenges in terms of scale and composition, content and emotion.” Selected Exhibitions:
