Rick Beaver was born in 1948 on the Alderville First Nation, near Rice Lake, Ontario, a member of the Mississauga Ojibway. A degree in wildlife biology is a strong influence on his art. He began painting professionally in 1981, has been painting and exhibiting internationally for more than 30 years. Beaver's work has been noted for vibrant colour and line, rendered in gouache or acrylics. He continues to work and live in the Rice Lake area of Alderville First Nation, still engaged as a biologist and artist. In 2011 Rick Beaver received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Trent University acknowledging his accomplishments.
