Robert Richter

In my last Bio I wrote “The artist was born in Milwaukee over 50 years ago in the year of the horse”. That was 15 years ago. I also wrote “He paints on incised wood, using the lines much like a coloring book”. That rings rather cheeky for a discipline employed by artists for many thousands of years - painting a carved image. The drawing carved creates another dimension, like a painting moving into the realm of furniture.

​I draw from life literally and figuratively. Drawing mostly trees, clouds, grass… drawn to quiet and stillness and the passing of time. 

​My influencers have remained with me from the beginning… Grant Wood and Kieth Haring. 

The artist (moi) lives and works outside of Austin, Texas in the county seat of Caldwell County.
