DescriptionAlthough formally trained in decorative paint effects and graphic design at Unitec and MIT respectively; and having worked as an art school technician, Richard considers himself a predominantly selftaught painter with a creative compulsion. Richard explains that this painting is “pretty much a celebration of what”s great about springtime with Mr (or Miss?) Tui waiting “in the wings” for a coat of paint”.
