Richard has lived in many areas of Wales and has settled for the past twenty-five years in the Caernarfon area. Travelling with a sketchbook in search of landscape and architecture is the foundation of his artistic practice, finding the inspirations that are then developed in his studio work. Printmaking began at school, subsequently studying a wide range of printing techniques. However, the focus has always been on relief printing, principally lino cutting and wood engraving.
