Richard’s art comes from a place of passion melded with a commitment to intellectual rigor. His dominant medium is paint on canvas, yet the images he creates seem most informed by the work he does using glass. The multi-layered translucence he captures in that medium, defying its apparent fragility, informs the multi-dimensional worlds he achieves on canvas. As his titles suggest, he views these layers of depth as having a philosophical or spiritual component that, to him, captures the reality of multi-dimensional existence.
