Richard is from Pennsylvania, lived in New York City, Rome, Italy and Washington D.C.  by the time he was twelve.  He made toys for himself and taught himself to carve wood as a child and  he made small figures out of wood.  Now, Richard is a wood sculptor, and silversmith.

 He carves wood in bais relief, usually from large pieces of walnut.  He has carved in English walnut and mahogany.  His genre usually involves hands;  hands in some action.  He was commissioned to do several pieces over the years, commercially and as gifts.

His jewelry is mostly done by sand casting, using delft clay and carving wax patterns. He makes pendants, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, broaches, pins etc.  His motif ranges from celtic designs to images taken from nature.
