Rick Lieder
Painter and photographer Rick Lieder has been creating fine art and illustration for many years. His art has appeared on award-winning novels ranging from mysteries and science fiction, to books based on the X-Files TV series and Newbery Award-winning books for children.
His fine art has been exhibited in galleries in the Midwest and Canada, and include painting, photography, and digital art.
His nature photography centers on ordinary backyard wildlife. These photographs capture the unique qualities of light interacting with the natural world, including luminous photographs of honey bees and small birds in flight, glowing fireflies mating and hovering over twilight fields, mosquitoes with a belly full of blood, and new-born praying mantis nymphs emerging from their egg cases.
His nature picture book for all ages, STEP GENTLY OUT, is a collaboration with award-winning novelist and poet Helen Frost published by Candlewick Press.
A museum exhibition and book signing was held at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in April 2012.
Among other honors:
More books coming soon: 'Sweep Up the Sun' in Spring 2015, featuring birds in flight, and 'Among a Thousand Fireflies' in 2016. Rick blogs about the world overhead and underfoot, a celebration of small animals living their lives, the leaves and the grass and the light, all of it reflecting the amazing life surrounding us.
He frequently exhibits his work in galleries and other venues and conducts presentations and workshops.
