Michael Rich, graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, (BFA 1991) and the Savannah College of Art and Design, (MFA 1997) is currently a professor of art at Roger Williams University, Bristol, Rhode Island. Time spent around the waters of Nantucket Island and the hills of Cortona, Italy helped to shape a love and interest in landscape and natural rhythms of color that remain very much a focal point in his work today. A dedicated practitioner of yoga, Rich is influenced greatly by Eastern philosophy and art in an approach to nature and landscape as a wellspring for spiritual investigation and meditation. Rich exhibits regularly internationally and throughout the United States through Sotheby's auction series, International Young Art, and gallery exhibits. He is the 1996 recipient of the Basil H. Alkazzi Award (USA) and his work is featured in private and public collections nationally including, The Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, Louisiana. www.michael-rich.com |
