Richard conveys the infinite possibilities that nature offers through his abstract paintings. His paintings aspire to capture nature's beauty by boldly contrasting abstract and drawn elements with a contemporary touch. The lively use of color accentuates the spirited mark-making he includes in his work, hoping to inspire a sense of beauty in the viewer.
