Reid Richardson is a contemporary painter whose artwork celebrates the journey of life through the beauty of trees and magnificent skies. His paintings convey feelings of wonder and serve as a reminder of our connection to nature. Reid believes art is about discovery, both for the creator and the observer.​"Trees have innate characteristics that parallel human existence. We breathe together, sharing a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship. A tree resembles the human body with branches that outstretch like nurturing arms bearing fruit to give new life, crowns full of personality, and roots that dig deep within the soil affirming its rich history. We grow as a tree does, planting ourselves firmly in the ground of modern society and evolving with the ever-changing seasons."~Reid Richardson​"Through extraordinary visual imagery, Reid Richardson communicates profound visions of hope for the future and nostalgia for his youth. His distinct color palette, subject matter, and technique resonate with a growing audience. Having an appetite for self-exploration in a modern world, he intends to exploit the hidden meaning in the simple beauties of life’s nuances. His brush is attracted to creating bold images of poetic skies and surrealistic landscapes. His work has developed over the past years into a complex personal vocabulary of imagery that stirs emotion and engages the intellect. His work transcends the boundaries of any particular painting style, creating a unique beauty which engages the intellect as well as the emotions of the viewer.”~Christine Pabst​A graduate of Arizona State University's painting program, Reid now pursues a fulfilling career as a contemporary landscape painter and professional printmaker.
