Over the last few weeks this piece has been sitting on the easel and every time I walk past it screams "finish me". Well now I have. A third piece in the Batik series.
Harvey Surf is a fusion of surf shop and art gallery which showcases Richard’s love of the ocean. He competed in events across the country and in 1973 went on to win the Australian title. This of course led to surfing competitions in Hawaii like the Pipe Masters and The Duke Kahanamoku Hawaiian Surfing Classic.
Richard has more than 40 years of shaping experience which he uses to create his hand-crafted boards. Nowadays his focus is on designing and making handcrafted boards that stand out from the mass-produced machine-shaped boards of the modern era. Richard’s paintings and artworks reflect his love of surfing and the ocean. His busy agenda of painting, photography, writing and shaping keeps him enthused and inspired.
