Testimonial

Author:  Mr. Spencer J. Harrison, Recruitment and Admissions, Liberal Arts and Drawing and Painting instructor, (OCADU) College of Art & Design University

"I have worked with Rick Gee for many years now in my capacity in Recruitment and Admissions at the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCADU) … he is a holistic educator whose skill level, ability to communicate and pay attention to the bigger concepts and smaller details allow his students to succeed in every direction of interest in their artistic education.

The proof is quite simple. In 2010, nine of his students applied to OCAD in the stiffest year of competition, where one in four were offered admission. Nine out of nine of Rick's students were admitted. Results like this are consistent, year after year."
