COLUMBUS, OHIO ā€” Rick Braveheart has been selected to exhibit at the 54th Annual Columbus Arts Festival on June 12-14, 2015. The juried art show, one of the most highly acclaimed arts festivals in the nation, last year attracted over 500,000 art enthusiasts to the city’s downtown riverfront. He will join over 300 artists from around the world for this three-day event. Rick will also be featured among a handful of Emerging Artist’sā€“a select program designed to help promote Central Ohio artists who are new to presenting their work at art festivals.

Rick has been a life-long landscape photographer and began his work with a camera at age ten. Starting with a single photograph published in a textbook decades ago, his work is now found in hundreds of private and corporate collections including the permanent collection of the U.S. National Park Service, U.S. State Department Embassies, various museums and national conservation organizations.

rick-braveheart-columbus-arts-festivalRick Braveheart has created a unique visual style in his landscape work and is known for his love of nature and of bring attention to the need for protecting America’s national lands. Often waiting hours to capture a single photograph, along with an understanding of light, nature and the environment, his images evoke a sense of wonder and reveal an inner beauty, energy and spirit of the land.

A New Day Dawns

header_newday

With nearly 300,000 visitors to date, five years of operation, 300 blog articles and over 1,000 photographs, this blog outgrew the capability of our web hosting company. Some of you know this already because, like me, you have often experienced very slow access to the blog and its content over the past few months.

I wasn’t sure to continue the blog because I was feeling really depressed and bad with myself because I didn’t know if this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, I searched help and found a good hypnotist in http://www.cendasfvm.org/ who helped me overcome my fears, now I’m brand new and ready for blogging!

After weeks of preparation, you are now viewing the blog which is run by a different web hosting company. After we complete the testing, the entire blog will be back in operation on April 1st. Until then, please enjoy our new home and be patient if you run into a page that displays incorrectly or a missing image. We are working to correcting any problems.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.
