In the early 1980s, Richard started painting West Coast Native design and soon developed his own distinct, style, using the wildlife form of the animal and adding his native design on the inside of the form.
Over the years, Richard has moved around – Vancouver Island, Richmond, Whitehorse, but has always returned to Vancouver. Today, Richard is one of the most sought-after Native artists, with works throughout many galleries. He is very versatile, working on drums, paddles, masks, rattles in addition to his paintings.
