Richard M. Greene, a nationally recognized artist, is an accomplished oil and
acrylic painter. He has received numerous national and international awards,
including the prestigious Salmagundi Club (New York City) 2004 National Acrylic
Award, as well as the International Society of Acrylic Painters 2005 Savoir Faire
Award. His paintings hang in private collections, museums and galleries throughout
the United States.

After being discharged from the United States Marines, Mr. Greene began his
formal art training at Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. Then, he received a
Bachelor’s Degree in Art from the University of Redlands. This was followed by a
master’s degree with an emphasis in painting from the University of California at
Long Beach. In addition to being a hands-on artist, Richard worked as an art
educator, teacher, and administrator. He now resides in Pismo Beach, a small
community on the central coast of California.

He is primarily a people painter. The looks on his figures' faces speak volumes and
they cover the spectrum of human experience. He is also a skilled still life, seascape
and landscape artist, making wonderful use of light and dark.

Richard is described as a contemporary expressionist and his bold approach to
painting is unique and immediately recognizable. He's become known for his style
which is defined by his use of large brushes.

Richard is a member of Oil Painters of America, the Morro Bay Art Association, the
Loma Linda Culteral Art Association, and a signature member of the International
Society of Acrylic Painters, member of National Oil & Acylic Painters Society.
