Not the same Ricketts; File #12


Quattro 2003 by Julia Ricketts

Julia Ricketts body of work explores subject matter that combines elements of architecture, geography, and the emotional qualities of place. Although primarily abstract works, Ricketts uses a language of marks that evoke landscapes that seemingly reveal actual sites. Ricketts’ monochromatic palette lends itself to the shapes and lines she creates to reveal new perspectives. Ricketts states, “Within the edges of my paintings forms are realized or dissolved, tensions created, and conflicts resolved.”

Abstract Expressionist paintings don't have anything to do with Ricketts, Iowa - but the rest of this website does!

If you grew up in Ricketts, be sure to plan on coming to our annual reunion, the third Saturday in July. If you have memories or pictures of Ricketts to share, email them to our webmaster: ted.mallory -at- gmail.com

If you have other funny, kitsch, or corny "Not the same Ricketts" ideas, send them too. Help put Ricketts on the map!
