Born in San Francisco, Ricky Watts says his distinctive style was born out of his younger years painting graffiti across Northern California. Today Watts’s “abstract works of fluid shapes and psychedelic color patterns” are as likely to be found in galleries as on walls, with both found in all corners of the country. Watts is now based in Sebastapol, California, in the heart of Sonoma County, and in early 2018 he traveled just a few miles to paint @RileyStreetArtSupply on Maxwell Court in Santa Rosa—a Northern California art institution he says he’s been frequenting since he was a kid.  @rickywatts/

Within the past 6 months I started merging and puzzling together a new series by combining the painting with my #MostlyForHer poems in what has become a very enjoyable and well received collection of works. These pieces are still available and looking for a home. Message me. I’m also taking on commissions if there is a particular poem, size, or color scheme that you’re looking to add to your heart.
