About the artist

Ricky Kimball

Ricky Kimball is a Texas sculptor whose work explores people, faith, history, and the natural world.

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran and traditionally trained sculptor, Ricky works in both physical and digital media, bringing traditional observation and craftsmanship together with modern tools and processes.

His work ranges from portraiture and figurative sculpture to wildlife, historical subjects, and commissioned pieces—each approached with the same goal: to make something meaningful, make it well, and hopefully leave people a little better for having encountered it.

“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:14

Selected experience

Work made alone—and work built with others.

Large projects are collaborative by nature. These credits identify Ricky’s role without claiming the work of the artists, craftspeople, and organizations involved.
