Richard Cole

Richard Cole was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1968; he has now lived in Vancouver, BC, for over a decade. Richard studied oil painting at the Alberta College of Art and Design. Upon graduating in 1991, he made a decision to concentrate in the realm of figurative realism. It was a vacation along the Oregon coast that turned Richard into a Northwest Coast landscape painter. Living in Vancouver, with its proximity to north shore forests and the Pacific Rim National Park, Richard is never at a loss for subject matter. His paintings are drenched in an atmosphere that is rendered through the delicate use of colour and light.

For inspiration I have fallen into a bit of a pattern. I travel to Hornby Island in August and walk along the beautiful Helliwell trail. The autumn takes me along Howe Sound. In the winter I always try to get to Pacific Rim National park for storm season. These magical places always inspire me to create my best work. Each time I return I take pictures. Every time I get different reference for paintings. The different weather and light always create new ways of seeing. In this work I take for granted the familiar settings and focus on the emotional. I concentrate on how these places make me feel and hope to communicate these feelings through the work.
