Artist photo forRichard Thorn

Richard Thorn RI is an acclaimed Devon artist working in watercolour and mixed media. His work often features the Devon landscape, and the sea is a constant source of inspiration.

Richard began drawing at an early age, and remembers that “drawing seemed to be as natural as eating”. Richard was born in Torquay and describes how trips to Dartmoor with the family proved to be a source of inspiration.

Richard is an intuitive artist, and says: “I love the poetry of the land and the sea. The associations are strong and deep and I try to convey this in my work”.

Richard’s objectives are not only technical, but also to make statements about nature and perception which communicate on an emotional level.
