Born in Florida and raised in New Mexico, R.W. Hickox is an extraordinary artist who has been studying his craft since childhood. "Painting has always been his favorite subject. He was my best student. Probably, one of the best students I ever had."
-Marve Newton.

R.W.Hickox demonstrates a masterful command of diverse visual media His technique provides subtle lush hues across the canvas. There is scrupulous dexterity in the levity of the forms in his subjects, along with a deep richness in the colors themselves. The shades inherent in his compositions allow the viewer’s eye to glide across the surface of the work, satisfying visually and leaving one with a wondrous optical treat.

Queen Art Publishers is proud to present this talented artist. His paintings can be found in many private and public collections.

Artwork is a creation of emotion and passion. That's how I paint; it's the only way I know to paint. Reaching deep with in the heart and soul to draw upon a full palette of emotions, then bringing it forth into a physical, visual form for others to experience. This is what artwork is all about to me. If a work touches you, a connection is made between you and the artist. Artwork is medicine for the soul. It makes us feel many different ways through movement, textures, and colors. Artists do not always use a subject to accomplish such, in fact abstracts are often pure movement based not on what we see, but rather how we feel as we look upon each piece. Life is similar to a painting. We begin our lives with a blank canvas. Throughout our lifetime we continuously add colors and texture creating a picture for everyone to see. When our stay is done we sign our work, thus leaving a mark on the lives we've touched.
