My
curiosity has led me to the world's distant and exotic corners...
I have created my art and taught in
Afghanistan, Greece, Mexico and Maine. My art is a significant arrangement
of things or words or movements that evoke a strong emotional response.
My large works often invite people to step right into them. My current
chosen medium is paper, which is very organic, intuitive and spiritual.
One
visitor to my studio wrote, "Richard is a striking figure within
his cavernous Brunswick loft studio. Way overhead, paper cylinders,
like long, narrow Chinese lanterns, sway lazily from the ceiling
pipes. Felt-like paper quilts and tapestries, rock compositions
and watercolors make the enormous walls one big collage. Squares
of fibery paper, each printed with primitive animal designs, swirls
and zigzags, are draped on books, shelves chairs.....everything."

Workshops
In
addition to creating artwork, I enjoy offering a variety of
handmade
papermaking workshops. My workshops
vary from one-on-one art intensives, to small groups and entire
school
classrooms. Papermaking is a fascinating and fun means of creative
expression for artists of all ages. See Richard's
resume.
