Richard was born in 1967, Hammersmith, North West London. After 10 years in furniture design and studying traditional upholstery methods, he worked in interior design making blinds, curtains and loose covers. After ill health, Richard took timeout and travelled Turkey.

At the same time Richard was gaining recognition as a recording artist, with hits in the USA, Canada and Europe. Over the next few years, Richard became disillusioned by the entertainment business; in 1998 he enrolled on an Art & Design diploma course. With the use of photography, light, texture and colour; this gave him the direction he was looking for.

With the use of photography, projection and original music, Richard was displaying large installations in bars, clubs & restaurants. As a lighting engineer he was excited by the atmosphere and energy he created with light. “We so easily forget the shapes of things; we become lazy of every day things. I love shadows and silhouettes; they just have a rawness and mystery about them, somehow the subject just comes to life.” Richard once created a fashion show with the entire garments behind a screen; the silhouetted models and clothing was a bold statement and huge success.

After a motor cycle accident in the south of France, Richard decided to recuperate with friends on the East Sussex Coastline. Very much inspired by his surroundings, Richard made the decision to stay. He is now happy living in Rye and working from his studio, The Little White Box.
