Born and raised in Ohio, Rick Ruggles stayed in the Buckeye State to study geology at Oberlin College. After inheriting his grandmother's silversmith tools, he began his metalsmithing career, designing jewelry, desk accessories and more. He has shown his work at craft shows since 1992.

In the fall of 2000, he noticed a heart-shaped pothole while taking pictures one day. An avid photographer with an eye for detail, he was inspired by that image and began seeing hearts in all sorts of places, from shadows to puddles to clouds. His collection now numbers over 10,000 and he selects his very best images for his cards and valentines.

Rick is now seeing the world differently and using photography to capture glimpses of rare everyday beauty. He has found himself attracted to the often stark beauty of black and white minimalism and Miksang, the Tibetan term for a way of seeing simple and small details when fully present.
