Rick Fleury's minimalist, contemporary style of landscape is widely associated with Cape Cod and coastal New England, with growing recognition nationally and internationally. He has used his work as a platform to speak on the issues of conservation, preservation and environmental awareness.

The artist was honored with a solo exhibition at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in 2006.  He was later included in An Exhibition from the Permanent Collection at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, and in recent invitational exhibitions at the Cahoon Museum of  American Art, The Cotuit Center for the Arts, The Harvard Club of Boston, the Boston International Fine Art Show, Art & Design 20/21, Boston, and the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival.

He is an Artist Member of Boston's Copley Society of Art, the oldest art association in the United States. His work has been selected for numerous juried and invitational exhibitions with Copley, and a near-sellout solo exhibition in 2008.

His work is in the permanent collections of the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, the Cahoon Museum of American Art, the Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston, and other corporate and private collections worldwide. He teaches at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum School, Creative Arts Center, Chatham, the Copley Society of Art, Boston, and at his studio.
