About Ricky Smith: Originally from Batavia, New York, Ricky studied Commercial Art and Communication at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He likes to keep the fact that he has been deaf since early childhood a surprise until the end of his performance. While working full-time at a New York Advertising firm, Ricky's interest in performance grew, along with his popularity as a mime. Eventually, his quiet hobby shaped an artistic career. Ricky's art awakens children's imaginations as his audiences learn to communicate their feelings and express their ideas visually. Ricky delighted audiences around the world for over 20 years as a professional mime. Ricky has appeared on the Today show, Good Morning America, and Real People, as well as on Strawberry Square, an educational TV program.

Ricky has studied with internationally recognized mime-artist Marcel Marceau, and has performed throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. Ricky is ready to take new audiences on tour through his world of mime.
