Richard (Ric) Washington
Born and raised in St. Louis, MO
Lives & works in Atlanta, GA
As a painter, printmaker, and sculptor, I craft images that delve into metaphysical concepts and metaphorical relationships influenced by my diverse heritage and life experiences. Unexpected outcomes and seductive illusions characterize my art. I work in abstract expression, elements from nature, and digital manipulation. Through my art, I aim to capture my journey and leave a legacy for future generations to ponder.
