Richard Swann

Richard trained and qualified at Leeds and is now based in Hastings. Here he takes inspiration from daily life and whatever happens to cross his path. This usually takes the form of the daily parade of bohemian eccentricity, the sometimes wild weather, the abundance of fishing boats and the odd black cat.

With a background in illustration, Richard is most at home drawing with a pencil whilst relaxing in a pub or café. In recent years, he has endeavoured to take the spontaneity of mark-making from quick sketches into paintings.
