Richard Corbett
 
 
About the Artist

Richard graduated in Printmaking from Norwich School of Art in 1994 and then taught in Suffolk for ten years. Inspired by a letter from Sister Wendy Beckett he moved to Monmouth in 2005 to set up a studio. He has exhibited widely, with solo exhibitions in London, France and Herefordshire in the last year. Richard teaches Art at Monmouth School and leads printmaking and painting workshops locally.
‘I am fascinated by the play of light in Nature; it defines the rhythm of the days and the space around us- evoking the spiritual within us. It is that I try to capture.’
