Beach artist schedules local showing Once again beautiful art work graces the halls of College of The Al bemarle with a showing by an Outer Banks artist. Rick Tupper, who lives in a geode sic dome house in Nags Head with his wife and two sons, has emerged as a painter with a powerful original style and has won the best-in-show honor for the last two years at the Frank Stick Invitational Exhibition featur ing more that 70 artists. "I feel comfortable where I stand as a painter at this time in my life," said Tupper, who is 40. And he has every reason to feel comfortable. "It's nice to see that his work is being recognized." said Claire Grieves, coordinator of the Frank Stick Exhibition. "His popu larity is growing by leaps and bounds. I'm a little prejudiced, but I really think he's the best artist on the Outer Banks." Some of Tupper's most recognized pieces are part of his "Spring Bud" series. Immediately identifiable as Tupper's, these paintings present the latest evolution of the artist's relationship with nature in life and were inspired by the birth of his sons. Looking back at the events surround ing the birth of his second son, Tup per said, "It had to do with expecta tion, new life, looking to the future. That's what started the Spring Bud series." Some of Tupper's works can now be seen at College of The Albemarle. The public is invited to visit the col lege and enjoy some beautiful art work by an Albemarle area talent.
