ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY
Richard King is an Ottawa-based visual artist and educator who graduated with a B.F.A. from the University in Ottawa in 1993. Since then, he has combined his love of art with his passion for teaching into opportunities for expression for students and himself. Working primarily with paint on two-dimensional surfaces, Richard's work uses a rich and colourful palate heavily influenced by Vincent van Gogh and Chuck Close and often reflects his personal interests--with popular music chief among them.
Richard has participated in numerous group and individual shows over the years including a solo exhibit at Adagio's in Otsuki, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. A career highlight was having his 2009 painting "Red Tie" selected as the artwork for the label of Hillebrand Winery's Meritage 2009.
