Special Exhibit: Destined for the Stars - Ricky Bernstein

A master storyteller,  Ricky captures moments of everyday life and whimsically interprets them using  painted glass, aluminum, oil crayon, colored pencil, and mixed-media objects.  He notes that “I make life-sized, three dimensional narrative scenes with cartoon-like figurative imagery.”

His work, wich often depicts his humorous impressions of the mundane, was greatly influenced by his childhood.  He enjoyed watching the interactions of his mother with family and friends in their day to day activities.  It was where he developed his concept of heroism, and consequently, this exhibition.  Destined for the Stars sculpture  is made to withstand the elements and is prominently featured outside the Museum for all to see.
