A graduate of Calvin College with an MFA from the University of Illinois, Rick is a self-supporting artist whose works now sell for thousands in galleries from New York to Seattle. They are prized by collectors worldwide.
But, in his "starving artist" days, Rick and
his wife
knew what it was like to struggle to feed their family.
Today, Rick is known not only for his sensitive
compositions - which recall Medieval icons in
their detail and spiritual resonance - but also
for his faith, intellect and humility. He, his wife
Brenda and their six children - all artists - live,
work, learn and garden in Grand Rapids.
Rick will provide all gala attendees with limited-
edition woodblock prints, created especially for
this event. Signed, archivally framed prints will
be presented to sponsors.
A small number of additional prints are also available
for purchase. Proceeds benefit the John Arnold
Endowment Fund.
The look of love.
Renowned artist Rick Beerhorst gives his heart and hands to our cause.
