Meet the Artist and Author

Rick Allen

Transformative Artist, Tech Maven, & Storyteller

From Circuits to Canvases

I began my career engrossed in the precision of Electronics Engineering—circuits, equations, and all. But fate had other plans, and so did I. I re-invented myself, first into a Portraitist, capturing the fluid beauty of human faces.


The Soul of a Portraitist Why portraits, particularly of beautiful women? Because beauty captivates me—not just physical beauty but the dynamic, ever-changing aura that transforms every twenty minutes or so during a sitting. Mostly commissioned, each piece of my art is a dialogue in oils, graphite, charcoal, and soft pastels between my muse and me.


Tech Interlude: Coding & Leadership

Between my periods as an artist and a writer, I metamorphosed again and donned the hat of an IT professional. Coding was a different kind of art, one of logic and problem-solving but still creative. I contracted with a few Fortune 500 companies. My journey even took me to the sun-soaked beaches of the Dominican Republic, where I served as the CTO of a large tourism company.


Another New Chapter Called Writing

The chrysalis opened again, and I emerged as a writer. My debut book, a guide to self-publishing, is available on Amazon. It serves as a roadmap for those daring to venture into the intricacies of putting their words out in the world.


Divine Creativity & Storytelling

I write to dive deep into the divine creativity that we all hold within. My stories are vehicles for self-exploration, gateways to hidden corners of human emotions and experiences. I discovered that the world is moved by the power of storytelling, more than just words.


 Join Me on Medium & Beyond I'm still learning, still evolving. My articles are primarily hosted on Medium, where I traverse the nuances of compelling storytelling each day. I also have a presence on SubStack for my newsletter(s). Stay tuned; this journey is far from over, and you won't want to miss what comes next.
