### About Rick Dingus
**Rick Dingus** (b. 1951) is a highly regarded contemporary artist and educator known for his innovative use of photography and mixed-media techniques to examine themes of landscape, history, and environmental transformation. A professor emeritus of photography at Texas Tech University, Dingus has spent decades capturing and interpreting the changing American landscape, often focusing on human impact and the cultural significance of land use.
Dingus earned his MFA from the University of New Mexico in 1979, studying under prominent figures in the photography world. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in esteemed institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). His photographs are held in prestigious collections such as the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona.
Dingus's art frequently addresses the balance between humanity and nature, inviting viewers to reflect on the cultural, historical, and environmental narratives embedded in the landscape. His *"Navajo Pipeline"* series exemplifies his commitment to these themes, combining technical skill with profound conceptual depth.
This artwork is a significant piece for collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary photography and mixed-media art, offering not only visual beauty but also an evocative commentary on the enduring complexities of environmental and cultural change.
