Richard Franklin

Born in 1961 in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, Richard Franklin lived and studied in Europe, the Middle East and throughout the United States. Having graduated from International University High School in Watford, England, Franklin attended Brigham Young University and the Colorado Institute of Art. He learned the art of oil painting by studying with master artists in Saudi Arabia. In March 1990, he spent one year studying in many museums across the world and also received intense studies of the old masters' techniques by working directly in museums. Franklin's beautiful treatment of the human figure draws from the religious, mythological and secular visions of the past. To his compositions Franklin added visuals elements of a more modern style.
