World Hope Forum: Heads Upriver - Ricky Boscarino

Ricky Boscarino was born into a family of artists whose Italian heritage can be traced back to the time of the Medici, and continues the lineage of artistry and craftsmanship. His largest work in progress is his home and atelier Luna Parc, near the Delaware River, in Montague New Jersey. He bought the simple ranch house 1989, and has reimagined it into a castle in the style of Henry Mercer’s Fonthill Castle in Doylestown, PA. Luna Parc is Boscarino’s atelier, home, playground and museum to his seemingly endless collections of literally almost everything man and nature made. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design in 1982, Ricky is prolific in his art as well as his construction projects. He creates whimsical, sophisticated work, from jewelry and ceramics to paintings and sculpture, in various media including metal, clay, glass, wood and cement. Ricky also started The Luna Parc Atelier Foundation, with the goal to facilitate creativity in young people by demonstrating the creative process through hands-on art projects.
