Orestes Nicholas (Rick) Grandmaison was born in Calgary, Alberta and is the son of Nicholas de Grandmaison.  He studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts under Frederick Taylor; at the Chelsea School, London, under Pickforth and Hodgson; and at the Winnipeg School of Art.  He travelled and painted in Spain, England and Portugal (1957), and England and France (1963).  He is known for his rural landscapes, especially ranches and homesteads that evoke memories of the Old West, and harbour scenes.  His work is included in the collections of the Glenbow Museum, the Alberta Art Foundation and the Edmonton Art Gallery.  He died of Leukemia in 1985.
