Join Rick McEachern for a conversation about his artwork. We will learn about his process for creating artwork and how it has evolved over the years.
Artist Ricky McEachern explores moments in time in an exhibition of his paintings at the Crowell Art Gallery until March 29th.
Titled “Everything is Now,” the show features landscapes and people in varied and colorful settings that McEachern has observed in his years exploring New England.
“The title comes from looking back at my experience working at Sears, Roebuck in Chicago many years ago when I suddenly realized that all of that was gone,” he said, “and that all the people who worked there had no idea what was coming and how different the future would be.
“They, and we, only have that moment, that now.”
Although he is relatively new to the area, McEachern has dived right in. He continues hosting a podcast called Eager To Know in which he engages with creative people of all types, and he recently put his DJ skills to use with an early morning weekly broadcast on WOOL-FM radio in Bellows Falls called Bellows Hellos and a tea dance that he organized at Ciao Popolo restaurant.
McEachern came to painting after working as an engineer and then exploring art in Chicago before moving to Saxtons River a few years ago. He held his first solo show in Saxtons River less than three years ago. More details and examples of his art can be found at his website www.rickyartist.com.
