What is remarkable about Richard is that he has Asperger syndrome, which is a form of autism. Richard uses a combination of photography and software to create his unique pictures. Like this one of a local Bagshot scene.
Here is Richard’s message
“I’ve got a condition called, Aspergers Syndrome. Creating digital paintings, helps me emotionally.Taking photographs is another interest. The photographs are brought into the Ipad, for use as a template, for my paintings.
Being able to utilise an Ipad, is very empowering.
‘Asperger’s can make communication complicated but not when I paint – it’s less challenging. My hope is that one day my work will sell and raise awareness’.
I hope you enjoy viewing all of my work, as it means a lot”.
