Rick Friesen: June 2020 Local Artist of the Month

June 18, 2020 by Sarah Waddell

Rick Friesen: Capturing Boise’s Landmarks Through Art

At Boise Group Real Estate, we love celebrating the artists who make Boise such a dynamic and inspiring place to live. This month, we’re featuring Rick Friesen, a talented artist known for his oil paintings of Boise’s iconic landmarks and his contributions to public art throughout the city.

Rick works across various media, but his passion lies in oil painting, where he captures the beauty of Boise’s urban and natural landscapes. His influence extends beyond the canvas—his public art projects bring creativity to everyday spaces, including:

  • Utility hole covers on Broad Street
  • A bus stop installation at Vista & Overland
  • A mural for the pollinator exhibit at the MK Nature Center

Beyond his personal and public art projects, Rick is also dedicated to teaching. He shares his expertise in painting and enameling at the Fort Boise Community Center, helping others explore their own creativity.

To see more of Rick’s work or learn about his upcoming projects, follow him online or visit his public art installations around Boise.

At Boise Group Real Estate, we know that the right home is more than just a place to live—it’s about being part of a thriving, creative community. Whether you’re looking for a home near Boise’s cultural hotspots, a space to showcase art, or a property that reflects your passion for creativity, we’re here to help. Let’s find your perfect place in Boise—contact us today!

To learn more about Rick’s art, follow him on Instagram @rick_friesen, or visit his page, Rick Friesen, on Facebook.
