Born and raised in Massachusetts, Rick Fleury is devoting his professional life to painting coastal landscapes of New England – leaving behind successful careers as a journalist and a New York executive officer and creative director in advertising and public relations.

His minimalistic style of landscape is widely associated with Cape Cod, and gaining growing recognition nationally and internationally. He is an Artist Member of  the Copley Society of art, CoISo, the oldest non-profit art association in the United States, founded in Boston in 1879. He was admitted to the Copley Society in January of 2007. His work has been selected for numerous juried and invitational exhibitions with Copley, resulting in major awards and a near-sellout solo exhibition in 2008.

He has been a year-round artist on Cape Cod since February of 1997.

Fleury is a graduate of the

University of Colorado at Boulder.

His work has been featured in a 2006 solo exhibition at the

Cape Cod Museum of Art.

from the Permanent Collection at the

Provincetown Art Association and Museum,

and in recent invitational exhibitions at the
