Artist Information Sheet Artist Richard Wynne Philosophy: I have always been an artist, lived as an artist, and will die an artist. Simply this is what I do. This is who I am. The song goes, Fish gotta swim, Birds gotta fly. Well, Artists have to create or part of them dies. A good Musician creates a bond between his music and an audience to create magic. If I perform this magic with my paintbrush then I am fulfilled. My success as an Artist can only be measured by how my work affects people. Every time I start a new work my intent is to show you my heart. My colleagues often tell me to specialize in one subject, style, and medium. Sorry I cannot do this I must constantly evolve as an artist or stagnate. My subject material varies with my interests. Certain styles and mediums are more effective than others when presenting a certain subject I paint with emotion and the birth of each painting is a constant struggle. I am not afraid of failure because from that I will grow and evolve as an artist. And sometimes failures with time become successes. Sad to say often only time rewards the artist. Styles I have many and various styles. I cant help it. My style changes with my mood, choice of subject, and what I am trying to say. I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and spent my youth in Indiana. I attended Primary, and High School there. I attended Universities in Indiana, Illinois, Utah, and California, but basically as an artist I am self-taught. I did not fit the mold of mass Art Instruction. I do not see circles stacked up I see people. The things I was trying to do then are now accepted. I didnt believe at the time and still do not believe in breaking every one down to an assembly line artist. Then later expect the artist to find his or her own unique style. I have been in many Countries as an Irrigation Engineer painting and playing all the while. Because of events in my life I decided to settle in Thailand and have been here for over fourteen years. I am a Member of the Thai Artist League and frequently exhibit with them. Publications My work has been featured in over fifty International and local Publications. Exhibitions: From 1982 until the present I have been in over 53 Art Exhibitions.
