Rick Lazes is a versatile three-dimensional artist who explores various media, including wood, plaster, stainless steel, glass, plexiglass, and marble. His artistic journey began in a modest studio on a West Virginia mountaintop, warmed by a coal potbelly stove, where he honed his craft despite challenging conditions. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Lazes now lives and works on the serene shores of Lake Norman near Charlotte, North Carolina. Beyond art, he is an accomplished inventor with multiple patents, including the revolutionary Auto Boom technology, a cutting-edge solution for managing offshore oil spills worldwide.
