Richard then completed a post-graduate degree at Goldsmiths College, London 1984-1985 and, after a career in Art teaching, is now a full-time artist designer. His style, colourist/post-minimalism, pares down his paintings to essentials and aims to move the viewer in a subjective way. His work is underpinned with references to landscape and sea, changing weather patterns, architecture, and memory.
