Drawing
Painting
Printmaking
I am interested in abstract, built and composed painting without losing the specific place, time or emotion. At various times I've narrated, interpreted, restored, represented, (re)designed and abstracted the landscape. After fourteen years of collaborative public eco-artwork, I built a house in Bovina and returned to painting: working from the everyday, familiar places around me, seeking to create images that are at once subtle and iconic.
Richard received an MFA from City College of New York, drove a taxi, worked as a master printer, taught at the Pratt Graphics Center and was Professor of Art at Long Island University for 28 years. He is also a member of Longyear Gallery.
