Living in the same county as the Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit, Richard has been drawing and painting almost since he was able to hold a pencil. His family background is full of artistic and engineering talent, and it was with the help of his artistically gifted Aunt that Richard first became engrossed with the world of painting. He remains largely self-taught, regarded as gifted art student at school but encouraged by his parents to train for a “proper job” so that he subsequently followed a career in engineering. His artistic ambitions remained, but purely on a spare time basis. He became interested in motor racing around age 10, and this influenced his early drawings and paintings.
