David Richardson
David Richardson is from Waterford, Michigan. He studied drawing and painting at Harding College but abandoned these pursuits seeking a degree in science instead. After earning a B.S. in Biology in 1988, Richardson returned to painting and briefly settled in Chicago where he pursued it full time. In January of 1991, he joined the United States Marine Corps intending to leave painting permanently behind; within a year, though, he resumed painting. Because of the transient lifestyle of the military, Richardson augmented his media with portable materials such as linoleum cuts, watercolor and oil pastel. Richardson's themes range from the human figure, his travels overseas, the Jungian concept of Archetypes and historical motifs and his English and American Indian ancestry.
