RICHARD NASH - painter, sculptor

Richard Nash is a native-born Pacific NW sculptor and painter. Among his goals as a non-representational abstract artist is the focus on the compositional elements of the work while linking them with more “poetic” components. The play of light and shadow on architectural and organic forms often guide the inspiration in his work. A subdued “Northwest” palette encourages the design components to be complex, thoughtful, and well composed, all supported with an oriental sense of space. Successful outcomes depend on making deliberate choices while embracing the unexpected opportunities that support the art.

Richard’s artwork is designed to engage its audience, much like a good piece of poetry or jazzwith a sense of discovery and emotion.

Influential to this framework are his 30-year career as an art teacher, extensive travels specifically to study art and architecture in Europe, Russia, Japan, and New York City, as well as exposure to the artists of the Bauhaus and New York Schools during his MFA studies, and the last 15 years focused on his professional art career.

Richard Nash’ work is featured outside in the Sculpture Garden.
