More About Ricky Trione:
Ricky Trione is a Fairhope, Alabama artist who lost his sight in two accidents, one eye at a time, in a 7 year period. His left eye was permanently blinded, while serving as a Captain in the Army in 1993. A rock was slung though the open window of his vehicle and caused permanent retina damage. Seven years later, August 2000, a large strip of tire tread flew from a passing truck and struck him in his other eye, causing permanent blindness.Ricky could no longer drive a car or enjoy art. He eventually learned to create art by using textures so that he could feel his way across a canvas. He works in a 3D style that includes thick texture paints and molding compounds. His greatest joy is getting to visit children of all ages in schools, art camps and special events. Ricky offers children hope and inspiration, while teaching them special art lessons, demonstrating that you can enjoy being creative and artistic, no matter what obstacles come your way.
