Rick Daskam’s paintings have appeared in Art Galleries and Juried Exhibitions throughout the Connecticut and New York area. In 1998, he followed his passion of painting plein air, and spent his time painting landscapes and farms in the local area surrounding his home.
In 2002 Rick first visited Monhegan Island and fell in love with its rugged beauty. Returning every year for a week or more of “sun up to sun down” painting, the artist has produced some of his most memorable works. In 2019 he was honored with the “Artist of the Year” – Island Inn Show.
Currently, Mr. Daskam is President of the Hudson Valley Art Association and an Elected Member of the Lyme Art Association in Old Lyme Connecticut.
In 2004 he began entering Juried Art Exhibitions and Museum shows. Preferring to express his passion in Oil, Mr. Daskam’s works have garnered him numerous awards from the Butler Museum of American Art, the American Artists Professional League, the Salmagundi Club, the Hudson Valley Art Association, Academic Artists Association and the Rockport Art Association and Museum.
