Richard Cartwright, born in 1951, studied at Goldsmith's College School of Art, and now lives and works in Bristol.

Richard believes painting to be a journey that reflects the elasticity and mystery of life. He paints what we hold inwardly in our mind’s eye: a landscape, an image offering solace, reflection and stillness amidst a fast-paced contemporary life-style. The effect on one is like an aroma or lyric reminding us of a forgotten experience, of a breathable “vastscape” transcending our daily lives.
