Richard is a Detroit-based artist who works out of the PASC Detroit studio. His artwork remixes iconography from fantasy novels, cityscapes, comics, automotive design, and science fiction. Working primarily with graphite, ink pen, and watercolor, he brings his visions to life through detailed illustrations. Richard often reimagines classic sci-fi worlds—such as Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Godzilla—populating them with his own original characters. The larger-than-life personas of musical artists like Prince and KISS parallel the women he depicts posing in the background of otherwise mundane home repair or club scenes, blurring the line between spectacle and the everyday.

He has exhibited at the University of Michigan, Institute for the Humanities, Ann Arbor, MI (2025); PASC Detroit Gallery, Detroit, MI (2024); Art Gallery at Westland City Hall, Westland, MI (2024); MOCAD, Detroit, MI (2024); and the Ford Gallery at Wayne County Community College, Bellville, MI (2023). Richard's artwork has been featured in art fairs like Outsider Art Fair, NYC (2025) and NADA art fair presented by White Columns Gallery, Miami, FL (2024).
