Richard Young is a British national, born in Yorkshire in 1961 and lnow is based in  Saudi. Like many artists Richard began drawing at a young age and started oil painting at the age of 12. He worked hard and developed a talent and  enjoyed early regional competition success and media publicity for his work in the North of England.

Richard's tutors recognized his skill and encouraged him to undertake both my Ordinary and Advanced level art exams a few years earlier than my peers, which he passed with the top grades. Being financially driven at that time, in 1983 he graduated in engineering and with a passion to travel, he initially pursued a career as a design consultant with various International design consulting companies, residing primarily in the Middle East. Nevertheless, an artisan at heart, Richard returned to Commercial Art several years ago as a semi professional freelance artist, and have extensively developed artistry and developed his  own personal style through exhaustive self tuition. In 2007 he was honoured to be  elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for Arts.

Richard's work is extensive continually exhbits his work internationally. His passion for  movement and dance engages him with an aim  to capture performer in that moment of intensity, of focused intention as they are consumed and enveloped in their art. His technique is unusual as he uses a pallet knife to paint. His work is available in prints as well as orginal works.
