Richard, a fourth generation Colorado native, has lived and worked in Santa Fe. New Mexico, for over twenty years.

Richard works in gold, silver, gemstones & antique red white heart beads, often in unusual combinations. Of his work he says, "I am proud to be part of a movement in jewelry design today that is producing work with a distinctly American style and feeling." Each piece is personally signed or marked with his hallmark, a triangle. "The universal symbol of change, it represents the sources of my artistic inspiration: my love of nature, wildlife and the outdoors, my roots in the American West, and the stories of the American peoples."
