A self-described perfectionist, Rich expressed his creative side as a youth by drawing in pencil. Then, by chance, he was introduced to mechanical drafting, which was embraced as a new art form and showed the way to his calling as a mechanical engineer. For 25 years, Rich expressed his artistry through his career as a product development engineer. Now retired, Rich focuses his design and creative energies on hand crafting highly refined art sculptures from wood. His professional energies focus on contributing to the local art community and showcasing his art at high end art fairs and artist callings at art galleries and museums. The resulting collection of projects are truly unique in form and maintain the clean sophisticated style symbolic of the reputation he developed as a design engineer.
