R.K. Red

I am always looking at how items in nature rest together, in communication and resting alone. Evaluating the bend of a branch and the twist of a petal. From here I determine the texture on which my painting will rest.  I texture each canvas by hand and plan how each color and form will rest on the ridges created by my knife.   When painting on cotton paper, the surface offers a calming place for my painting and I focus on clean brush strokes and earthly warmth in the open space. 

My work has been collected by hundreds of art lovers from around the world. I have work on display in public spaces including over 20 Veronica Beard retail stores, Frances Valentine Retail,  the Phoenix Sun Arena, and several boutique hotels. 

My original artwork is sold primarily online with the help of several retail sites.  Chairish.com is where my largest collector base is located.  In addition to my online community,  I am represented by Tiffany Farha Designs at the semi-annual Round Top Texas show in Round Top Texas.  I am building my online community and I am looking for additional in person opportunities to meet collectors. 

I live and work in Northern California.
