Rick Dziak was born and raised in Marblehead, Ohio. Ask him about his first Lakeside experience, and he simply replies that Lakeside was “always there” – he worked at the drug store with his mother before it became The Shade Tree, he attended school on Walnut Avenue for the first four years of elementary school and moved to the school now on Route 163, and he even sold his first painting at the Lakeside Art Show in 1961.

Dziak has loved painting since he was in elementary school, where Eleanor Durr was his art teacher. Unfortunately, art was only a part of the curriculum up to the sixth grade. Determined to follow his passion, he asked for a set of oil paints for Christmas when he was 14, and Santa obliged.
