Richard is a self taught artist.  Even though he has never studied art in an academic setting, the  private training he has taken have allowed him the freedom and independence to develop his own unique style of art.

He first emerged as a serious artist in early 2001, creating what he termed “Computer Parts Art”, receiving numerous awards in art competitions.  In 2007, he transitioned into a broader area of this medium, making use of the full spectrum of found objects and now has a distinctive approach to Assemblage art, which has also received numerous awards in local art competitions.

Richard believes making art from found objects allows his imagination to expand and flourish.  He enjoys bringing otherwise unrelated objects together, using paint to unify and transform them, giving them new life as a now singular entity and unique work of art.  He thoroughly enjoys the process of creating art which ranges from deep feelings to fun.  His objective is to give his art the ability to evoke emotion from the viewer.
