Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, in 1952, Richard attended both the Sheffield College of Art and the Kingston Upon Hull College of Art. After earning his Master of Fine Arts at Sussex University, he moved from England to Southwest United States, where he now pursues a versatile range of painting and sculpture. Some of his works are minimalist and ethereal, whilst others display remarkable depth and antiquity: All are universally and enthusiastically sought after. In 1990, Richard also became the Director of the Atelier division of Phoenix Art Group.
