Rick Steed

Rick Steed graduated from the University of North Texas in 1970 with a bachelor's degree in studio art. Painting north Texas landscapes sparked his interest in its frontier history. Rick has been a member and contributor to the Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico Historical Societies for many years. Originally, financial responsibilities required in raising a family relegated his artwork in history studies to hobby status. Today, as he approaches retirement age, art and history are Rick's main pursuits, and he considers his investments more like a hobby.
