Born in York Pennsylvania, Rick Unger began his artistic talents at an early age, drawing pictures with great accuracy. He was receiving commissions for his art work even before graduating high school. He attended York Vocational Art School. Upon graduation he was married and moved to Texas. Texas, with its cattle and horse ranches, was a new experience for Rick. He felt that the life of a cowboy was a contrast to urban stress and painting cowboy life an escape from the fast pace.
Today, Rick resides in Colorado with his wife, Jody. They have been married for over 28 years and now enjoy their life together in southwest Colorado, where the beautiful San Juan Mountains are a true inspiration.
