About Artwork: As a shoreline runner and enthusiast I am constantly drawn to the variety of "things" that wash up on the sand. The excitement of spotting a piece of colored shaped glass in the sand can be like that of receiving a gift. This is one in a series of multi-colored and shaped sea glass paintings. Capturing their transparent luminous light is essential in creating the glow that reveals beyond the paint.

About Artist: Richter, born in 1962 in Cameron, Texas, holds degrees from Texas Christian University in Composition and Design (1992) and Texas State Technical College in Art and Advertising (1982). He now resides and works in Laguna Beach, California, after transitioning to full-time painting in 2003 following a successful career in advertising, graphic design, and illustration. His work reflects the influence of his commercial art background, blending a conceptual approach with a unique color palette and technique to explore nature's hidden aspects. The process of layering paint, scraping, and burnishing is central to his work, revealing unexpected elements and often making a statement about humanity's relationship with the environment. Richter's Reveal paintings continue this exploration, depicting natural landscapes with a minimalist style that brings calm and subtlety to complex, chaotic subjects.
