COVER ART by Rik Olsen
Gazette readers are familiar
with Rik Olsen’s art because every month you get to enjoy one of his illustrations in the Fine Tree Care ad on the back cover. Inside the March edition of the Sonoma County Gazette, you will read a full profile on this very humble, extraordinary artist, written by Sharon Feissel.
I LOVE working with Rik and I own several pieces of his art that I just HAD to purchase ... from Graton Gallery where he exhibits, and from ArtTrails and Art at the Source when he participates in their Open Studios.
I encourage you to see Rik’s work
wherever you can see it... on posters
for events, at the Steamroller Street
Fair in Sebastopol and San Francisco,
on book covers, as book illustrations,
on wine bottle labels...it goes on.
People appreciate Rik’s sense of
beauty, as well as his sense of humor that shows up in creations he does to satisfy his quirky perspective on reality.
Please read Rik’s profile, go to his website, see his work in person at Graton Gallery and the show at Sebastopol Center for the Arts running right now. And of course, keep enjoying the art he creates for Fine Tree Care. This is a partnership that thrives on collaboration, which we all enjoy.
