Richard Prather
It's the diversity of texture and color in the southwestern landscape that I find so enticing to paint"
Two passions have dominated Richard’s life - the natural environment and painting it. This love of the outdoors lead Richard to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences from Texas A&M University and a career as a Wetlands Biologist for the Environmental Protection Agency.

About the time Richard was entering college, the work of a local wildlife artist caught his attention and sparked his interest in art. It became a natural outlet for Richard by which he could express his passion of the natural environment.  Richard’s painting style has evolved over the years and took it’s biggest leap after discovering painting en plein air.  Richard’s work began to take on a looser and more "painterly" look, one that draws straight from nature. Years of working in the field have allowed Richard to develop a greater understanding of the natural environment which shows through in his paintings.

Richard currently resides in Garland, Texas, with his wife Sharla. They have two daughters, Crystal and Heather. Crystal, a recent graduate of the university of North Texas, is an Interior Designer and Heather is currently a student at Texas Woman’s University.
