About
Richard has always loved making things.
As a young boy he spent his time playing with Lego, building plastic kitsets and drawing crazy faces. At high school, the only thing he was inspired by and achieved at, was art and art history. He studied visual communication at Christchurch Polytechnic majoring in 3D design.
Once free of the education system, he freelanced as a mural artist and designed and made clocks, which he sold at the Christchurch Arts Centre market. In his early 30s he was fortunate to be employed by the Court Theatre as a set builder, scenic artist and designer.
For over 20 years he has been paid to make awesome stuff, learnt some invaluable skills and met some amazing people. Making art for him has always been the most effective way for him to find meaning and purpose in this crazy world.
