Roberto Rico

I am from The Artist’s Colony of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, at 16, I received a Scholarship to The National Institute of Fine Arts, which I attended for 2 years, and Studied Life Drawing, and Design and Composition, I moved to California and Enrolled in Moorpark College, and attended various art classes. After a career in The Printing Business, decided to move to Las Vegas, where my Artistic hunger came back, and began to Paint and draw, I am currently volunteering as a Drawing instructor in Several community Centers in Las Vegas, and Belong to The L.V. Artists Guild, Henderson Arts Association, Nevada Watercolor Society and the C.A.C.

My works has been shown in various Art Galleries, including Lake Las Vegas Reflections Bay Art Gallery, Old Town Gallery, Bridge Gallery in Las Vegas City Hall, Henderson City Hall, Holsum Lofts, Twin Lakes Art Gallery, Etc, I have won several Awards, in many shows and Art Contests. I love to paint, I paint in all media, Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, Color Pencil, Pen and Ink, Pastel and Chalk, but my love for Graphite Pencil keeps me alive and wanting to create more and more, The Number two pencil can make as beautiful art as any other media.

I have never been one to show off with credentials or titles, I am used to letting my work speak for itself, I am grateful and feel very fortunate that I am able to express some of my feelings through my work, but mainly I just Draw and, or paint. So far the rewards have been countless.

Thank you, Roberto Rico
