Richard Telford
Born in Dorchester in 1950, Richard Telford spent his childhood growing up in his home town developed a keen interest in painting from an early age.
Although his talents were obvious early on, after studying at art college Telford initially took up a career as a graphic designer rather than initially painting full time. However, he soon found the role to be unfulfilling and decided to embark upon his career as an artist.
As well as his impactful cityscapes featuring the recognisable figure in red, Richard Telford is also an accomplished landscape painter using subtle tones and beautiful brushwork to bring a sense of realism to his compositions. His work is now collected throughout the UK and beyond and his talent is appreciated widely.
