Rich feels strongly about bringing artwork into the community that not only shows the beauty of creation, but also art that stirs the spirit — art that even reveals injustices that take place right in front of us everyday. He is a dedicated, passionate artist who has found out that takes hard work to make a difference, but it is well worth the effort. About painting, Brimer says, “I have always loved the ocean and I love creating images along this threshold between the seen and unseen world. I go to the California shoreline as often as possible. These times allow me to reflect on the important things of life that God has given me. Painting allows me to have a time alone in the power of nature and to gaze at its beauty. I love to paint quickly in order to make the impression of what I am experiencing, immediately find its way to the canvas. Also, studio work allows a longer period of time to to ponder new ideas and work out some bigger themes.”

Born in Long Beach, CA in 1962, Rich Brimer has his roots well planted in the west. Hunting with his father and going on family camping trips, Brimer gained a respect and love for the outdoors. He is an artist who loves both studio painting as well as painting outdoors, preferably using oils. He is past president of the the board of the Arts Council of the Conejo Valley and is currently serving as Vice President for Studio Channel Islands Art Center. The California Lutheran University graduate (B.A. Fine Art) can often be seen in and around the Southland flexing his artistic muscles. His art studio is located in Old Town Camarillo on the campus of Studio Channel Islands Art Center.
