RICHARD ABRAHAM - Oil

Born in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. After studying painting and design in college, he had made a living as a designer for 14 years - broadcast television design at the CBS affiliate in Denver, then in 1990 started an animation studio in Madison, Wisconsin, producing work clients such as PBS and The Learning Channel.

In 1998 he made the decision to paint full time, wanting more training, moved to Minneapolis/St. Paul to study classical oil painting techniques (The Atelier, The Hurinenko & Paquet Studio).

"My goals now are modest; to paint a little better today than yesterday."
