Episode Synopsis

Episode Notes
In this episode, we chat with Rick Spears, a paleoartist who has never outgrown his fascination with dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures. Rick's journey into the world of paleoart began in childhood and has evolved into a career of drawing, sculpting, and creating exhibits and models, including life-sized dinosaurs and other ancient animals. His work combines scientific research with creative speculation to bring extinct creatures to life, alongside an interest in cryptozoology.
Rick is a founding member of the Paleontology Association of Georgia (PAG) and an exhibit designer for the Fernbank Science Museum.
Join Rick on Saturday, March 9th from 1-3 PM at the Northeast Georgia History Center for a special "pop up" exhibit showcasing Rick's work and his fossil collection! www.negahc.org/events.
