As Rick will tell you in this interview, straddling the line between abstract and representational painting is exactly where he wants to be: in the grey area slipping in and out of both labels.Rick Stevens and Antrese Wood talk abut how a year of solitude focused his work. We talk about accepting the generosity of patrons, how Tai Chi has informed his perception of painting and we even get into a discussion on impulse versus intuition and what that can mean for your painting.Part one of a two part interview.Get Savvy!
