Rickey Hoefnagel was born in Rotterdam, the
Netherlands, growing up in a large, loving family.
She immigrated as a young woman to the United
States where she became a citizen. After raising
two sons in the Los Angeles area, she began
painting over 20 years ago in the style of
Impressionism. Most recently, the unique style
she has developed has been influenced by
fusionart. Her primary medium is acrylic on
canvas. Rickey’s recent public exhibitions in
California include the Pacific Art Center in
Westwood, the Highway 111 Gallery in La Quinta,
the Kenneth Village Arts and Crafts Festival in
Glendale and the Mehregan Fall Festival in
Irvine. She also exhibited at the Tucson Museum
of Art in Arizona in combination with the music of
composer Michael Hoppe. Rickey often enjoys
writing poems to accompany her paintings. She
also teaches painting privately and for small
groups. She now lives near Palm Springs,
California, with her husband, Richard Buntin.
