About
Rick Kinateder
Rick Kinateder loves to search out inspirational, intense, low light evening scenes. Naturally, considering his architectural rendering background, he is also drawn to buildings whether they are rural, cityscapes, historical or European settings. His eye for detail and knowledge of perspective help him to create realistic impressions of the scenes that excite him. His paintings come to life with abundant color and attention to contrast and shadows.
With his need for a quick drying medium in the rendering business, watercolors have been a medium of choice for Rick. His mom, also an artist, said he could paint with oils when he was older “because they’re messy”. He is now also painting with oils! Both watercolors and oils are exciting and enjoyable for him and his collectors.

Biography
Born in Prescott, Arizona, Rick Kinateder loved the out of doors, sports and art. Initially wanting to be an architect, he graduated from Brigham Young University in Art and Design and went on to teach design and architectural rendering there for 20 years. His first design student eventually became his wife of 45 years! He organized and has owned the intermountain west’s premier design, architectural rendering and model building business for 47 years in Utah Valley.
Always keeping in touch with the outdoors and his desire to paint full time someday, his love of camping and fishing with his family throughout the west, especially in red rock Utah, Yellowstone and Teton areas, inspired his landscape paintings throughout the years.
Now in semi-retirement, Rick is devoting his artistic talents to fine art. Along with painting, he teaches perspective and watercolor workshops. He has entered and won plein air competitions and awards in this new found discipline at the Rockville Bridge Invitational, and Escalante and Moab plein air events. For several years his artwork has been exhibited in the Springville Museum of Art Spring Salon, Zions Bank Shows, Gallery 35 as well as a one man show and other exhibitions at the Covey Art Center. He is represented by the Worthington Gallery in Springdale, UT.
