Richard was a photographer in the US Navy from 1955-1986, he had the chance to travel the world and capture on film what he saw on his travels. Richard was stationed in Atsugi Navel Air Station, Japan in 1958. Most of his photographs were shot on 35mm slide film.

JULY 2013

Saturday July 13th - "Expressions in Realism" painting and sculpture by Dean Vigyikan. You may remember some of Dean's work in our Holiday show in December. Dean is a representational artist, However, believing that all of art essentially requires the artist’s interpretation of nature to some degree, he is more than happy to take liberties with brush and clay in order to achieve the emotional and spiritual dimensions of his subjects.
