About Rick Sinnett

Rick Sinnett is a muralist, printmaker, curator, and self-described visual folk artist. 

His artwork, which characteristically pulls from nature and land of his youth, incorporates bold lines, vibrant colors, and repeated patterns. His early artistic career took him from Mustang, OK to California where he adopted the moniker Mothman, due to the animals and natural elements which serve as the foundation of his compositions. There he first sold his screenprints and ink drawings. He also began giving away hand-drawn artworks in exchange for the recipient expressing concern or kindness to others who they may encounter. This initial exchange became the basis for his “art for the people” approach, including murals and “art drops” using social media, along with various merchandise, from socks, coasters, tool boxes and Chirstmas tree ornaments.

Though he still produces silkscreened artworks and acrylic mandala paintings, Sinnett has become most known for his large "mega" murals that can be seen in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Pauls Valley, Norman, Cashion, El Reno, and other locations along Route 66. 

Sinnett's first megamural, "The Land," at 12,800 square feet, was completed in 2014, on the north side of a Bricktown grain elevator turned rock climbing gym. OETA filmed Sinnett and his crew during the more than two year process and aired on an episode of Gallery about public art. In addition to his mural projects, Sinnett continues to exhibit his paintings and prints.
