The Office of Cultural Affairs and the Chastain Arts Center remembers Ralph Ricketts, a beloved teacher and friend. Ralph was an accomplished artist, having completed a degree from the Rhode Island School of Design after serving in the US Navy during the Second World War.
He worked in a variety of mediums that included oil paint, sculpture, film, and printmaking. He was a dedicated art instructor—with equally devoted students—and a member of the Chastain Arts Center community for more than a decade during which he taught countless classes in painting.
In lieu of flowers, Ralph’s family has asked that donations be made to the American Cancer Society or the Alzheimer’s Association.
