"BEACH PATH SHIMMER" - Richard oversmith
Richard Oversmith
MEET THE artists
Richard Oversmith received formal Fine Art and Illustration training at Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While at Kendall, he was invited to study at the Royal College of Art in London, England. There, he gained experience in plein-air painting and found direction in his work as an oil painter. He graduated from Kendall College with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1995 and moved back to his home state of North Carolina to pursue his dream of becoming a professional artist. Oversmith's purpose in painting is to provoke the viewer to interact with his pieces. His paintings are his voice, and stroke by stroke, he composes a whole that relates to his vision. Working in oil on linen, a medium compatible with his passion for his creation, Oversmith strives to achieve a mood in every painting through color, edges, value and drawing. He has derived his style from the lifelong study of past masters, the influence of contemporary painters he admires, and elements that have evolved from deep within himself. He allows the setting to speak to him, creating only as many brushstrokes as are needed for the viewer's eyes to understand and connect.
