Though born in Nottingham, Richard grew up in a remote corner of North Devon. After obtaining distinctions in Art and Design he went on to achieve a first class honours degree in illustration at University College Falmouth.
Apart from his personal paintings he works as an illustrator in Devon represented by agents in London and New York.
His paintings evolve from an inherent reaction to the diversity or the landscape, primarily concerned with facets of weather and light. The images are not just a representation of the land but also his emotional response to it.
“My work is not just a snap shot of a place at one instant in time. Rather a record of a place over a period of time, summing up my feelings for the environment and the time I spend in it”
