| Alvin Richard | |
)

Born 1962, I am an emerging self-taught artist who paints exclusively with acrylics. I currently live in Moncton, New Brunswick in Atlantic Canada. |
| About the Artist | |
I have always known what would interest me visually as an artist, and this was to paint the familiar stuff. My sensitivity as a registered nurse, husband and father makes me realize that real happiness lies in the occurrences of daily life. With every painting I am attempting to document a glimpse of observation of those moments. Light, colour, perspective and composition are all vital elements that become an integral part of the work. My mission is to create images that will make you pause and reflect on simple moments that we just take for granted, and to come aware and thankful for all that we already have and were not aware of. |
