Richard D. Colvin
Painter/Printmaker

Bio

Richard Colvin is an artist and longtime museum professional who brings an alternative viewpoint to his works.  Rather than concentrate solely on one style or manner of expression, he prefers to work in series that he feels combine new subjects with appropriate mannerisms.  Originally a classically-trained painter and printmaker, Colvin traipses back-and-forth between the traditional, the modern, and the postmodern.  He is equally at home with a brush, an etching needle, or a personal computer.
