About the artist
Having always enjoyed painting and drawing, Richard studied commercial and worked in advertising for a number of years before taking up painting on a full time basis in 1978.

His work was also included in the “9 x 5 and Beyond” exhibition held at the McClelland Gallery, Langwarrin in June 1984.

His work is represented in many collections throughout Australia, including the Ledger Collection, Benalla Regional Gallery, Victoria.
