About the Artist
 

Born in Suffolk, Richard started drawing and painting at a very early age and has always held dear "a great love of all things natural"

He exhibited at the famous Gainsborough's House during his Sudbury schooldays and after diverting to fine art from an extensive highy successful career in publishing, marketing and design held a first solo exhibition in October '95, going on to blend tuition with his unique "Around Britain Watercolour Collection" project

Richard's sensitive approach to art tuition has gained him a large following, who benefit from his friendly approach to developing individual styles in whatever medium, and he continues to work locally, nationally and internationally

You are invited to contact him personally at his base in the heart of the beautiful Alde Valley to discuss your own unique piece of "history in the making" or requirements, times dates and venues for workshops aimed at helping everyone to enjoy creating their own art

The innovative solo "Around Britain" project has seen many close associations formed and continuing work with The National Trust, English Heritage, RSPB and the like...

Richard is also happy to give presentations on his "Around Britain" project for:

Charitable Fund Raising events

Chambers of Commerce

Breakfast Clubs, etc
