STATEMENT

Richard is an award winning Northern California landscape artist, painting with oils, primarily en Plein Air. The discovery and joy of painting came to him quite late in his life path, but not unexpectedly. Landscape photography was his chosen creative medium for thirty years. Large, medium and small format cameras… using primarily black and white images and the magic of polaroid transfers on watercolor paper. After taking a painting class in soft Pastels to enhance his Polaroid transfers… He dedicated himself to the possibilities that painting presented.

Most of Richard’s career was spent as an entrepreneur, importer and graphic designer. He became more heavily involved in the art industry as the product manager for an exclusive importer of French fine art materials where his eyes were opened to the unique history of the impressionist era and to art materials in general.
