• Jody Wiggins Introduces Rick Humphrey

  Rick Humphrey began painting en plein air in 1985, primarily focusing on the Palos

  Verdes Peninsula, where he grew up. In 1997, he organized the first art exhibition

  and sale to benefit The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, featuring

  artists from the newly formed Portuguese Bend Artist Colony. Since that time, their

  annual exhibition has grossed almost one-half million dollars, raising a significant

  amount of money for the conservancy. His work has been exhibited in the Natural

  History Museum of Los Angeles, The Bowers Cultural Museum of Santa Ana, The

  Pasadena Museum of Art, The Carnegie Art Museum, the State Capital Building of

  Sacramento, The Autry Museum of the American West, The Irvine Museum, and

  The Bennington Art Museum in Vermont. In 2007 he received the California Art

  Club’s Gold Medal for the Edgar Payne Award for Best Landscape at the 96th

  Annual Gold Medal Juried Exhibition. His paintings are in collections throughout

  the United States and Europe. He is a Signature Member of the California Art Club

  and founding member of The Portuguese Bend Artist Colony.

  Rick is planning a slide presentation along with large and small samples of his

  work. He plans to discuss how growing up on the Palos Verdes Peninsula during

  the late 1950s to 1960s was a major factor in shaping the direction in art that he

  eventually took. We will also see his field equipment and hear about the process of

  painting on location.
