An old-fashioned printmaker, making etchings and lithographs and indulging in his passion for drawing and painting. Richard has exhibited with the Contemporary Art Society and the Royal Society of British Artists at the Mall Galleries, London, and in both public and private galleries and is represented by Cobbold & Judd; Buckenham Galleries, Southwold and Snape Maltings Galleries, Snape.
