Ricky Douglas

Ricky works with charcoal, pencil, colored pencil, paint pens, watercolor and acrylic and he also has worked with ceramics. He is proficient with computer 2D and 3D graphics.

Ricky’s first painting at Artists First called “Red Headed Girl'' won 2nd place in a statewide contest of paintings by adults with disabilities.  The painting toured the state and was on display at the Capitol Building in Jefferson City for several months. He enjoys drawing pictures of faraway lands and telling stories. He feels that his mental illness has given him a different perspective. It just proves that a seemingly negative occurrence can lead to a world of wonder.
