The biography.

Born in Winnipeg in 1972, Richard received his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree with Honours from the University of Manitoba in 1994.

Having completed his Master of Fine Arts Degree from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1996, he traveled extensively throughout Europe seeking to experience his heritage and art history first hand. Richard now resides and works in Vancouver, BC, where his art has grown towards his German Expressionist and American Abstract Expressionist influences.

In these new abstract paintings, the lines, shapes and marks have been significantly reduced from the earlier works, influenced by Social Realism, to a regressive state of communication.
