" I was fortunate enough to take part in the Resident Artists Annual Exhibition at the Rootfop Arts Centre, here in Corby. Which is based in the old library.
It was the first time I had exhibited any works for around 25 years, since my early days of living in Irvine.
​
I tried to paint things a little differently than I`m used to. I am striving to become a light looser, as a painter. Which is something I still and will continue to struggle with. "
" I`m not usually known for my sculpture work, let alone my modern arty style of sculpture. I was fortunate enough to be asked to work with the Corby Sculpture Park and Cooney Marina, were we where able to formulate a design that is sleek, flowing and is full of character.

This is a piece of Corby that will last into the future. Wow. "
Richard is a Glaswegian, who grew up in Irvine during his informative years.
He moved to Corby around 25 years ago.
​
Since he was a lad he has always had an interest in art. Which has led him to various types of projects throughout the years. Everything from drawing, painting to special effects and digital illustration. He picked up the tattoo machine around 15 years ago, and hasn`t looked back.
​
Last year, he opened up his own studio space, a place where he can practice the art of tattooing as well as his other interests.

" Here`s a little video I created in the first Lockdown in the United Kingdom in 2020. I hope it shows a good example of how to set up and organize an image for painting. I tried to make the subject matter a little playful, as the world was in horrible state globally. "
