I’m Rick Midler—an artist, creative director and longtime maker of things.

My work is a quiet conversation between texture, memory, and the natural world.

I make art to slow down, to listen, and to bring to light what often goes unseen.

I hope it helps you do the same.

FEATURED WORK

STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS Decorative Paper on Board, 36 x 48 in.

A serene meditation on life's transient nature. Just as the figure beneath the canopy of the tree finds solace in the gentle rhythm of the river's flow, the viewer is encouraged to let their thoughts drift downstream, releasing life's burdens with each passing moment. Like the clouds that float along the water’s surface, the artwork captures the parade of fleeting moments, reminding us of the beauty found in impermanence.

This piece features travel-sourced decorative papers from diverse cultures, meticulously hand-cut and applied with care on sturdy, reinforced board using UV protected, acid-free materials.
