A current day leather artisan, Rick Nielsen has chosen small works in lieu of full scale models. His small replica of a full sized saddle, will be made into a lamp that can charmingly warm and lighten the room of any western art enthusiast. His beautifully crafted wallets, belts and other western themed gear often appear at western craft shows where they are available for sale.
A gentleman, Rick captures the essence of the old west where a man's word was his bond. In keeping with that genteel era, Rick volunteers his time in a variety of ways that benefit society. I am honored to know him and was pleased to paint his portrait for my Artisans of the West collection.
