Rick Wieneke

Rick Wieneke (1955) was born in Canada and lives in Arad, Israel. After reading the book Exodus by Leon Uris, he became fascinated by the Jewish people and God’s role in the origin of the state of Israel. He went to Israel in 1977 and lived in a kibbutz for seven years. It was there that he came to faith in Christ and started to work as a sculptor. Together with his wife Dafna he finally decided to live as a full-time artist and devote himself completely to sculpture. That is why they left the kibbutz. Rick Wieneke’s work can be found all over the world. His largest work is Fountain of Tears.
