Biography
Richard was born in Catford on 24 February 1961 and has spent much of his adult life working in the capital.
Since graduating from the Royal Academy of Art in 1985 I have been deeply involved with the theme of Landscape in Art and have achieved an international reputation for my work on both a large and small scale.
I have exhibited and lectured extensively throughout the world and lived in the United States, Thailand, France and Germany and in doing so have gained good understanding of other cultures.
Over the last seven years I have also taught art, focusing on schools with a high percentage of students with special needs. I also began my own freelance design company, which broadened into an environmental charity with strong roots in English culture.
My charitable work has taken me into British communities where I have become well acquainted with the local people in order to design environmental and educational solutions that meet their needs.
My voluntary work has also taken me onto the streets and I am a Streetleader for my local Council, which involves removing graffiti, antisocial behaviour and other forms of vandalism from South East London.
