Rick has been an art model in Athens since 1995. A retired dentist, he models regularly for artists at The Georgia Museum of Art, at UGA’s Community Art School, the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation, and others. He is now helping non-profits bring life drawing with nude models back to the community; COVID was a major interruption, but through drawathens.org monthly afternoon sessions are returning to Athens in August 2025. All registration monies received for the sessions go to the model and to the non-profit, and when Rick models he donates all of his pay and tips to charity, and he matches it — to which the artists very generously respond.
