Richard Thomas

One might redefine artistry as the infusion of an inanimate object with the artist\'s soul turning the object into a creation with a life of its own - and so it is with the works of sculptor Richard Thomas. \"A flash of a beautiful moment gives me the inspiration to create. I am constantly inspired by the beauty all around me and the ever evolving human figure. As a sculptor, I see the world rather differently: my awareness of all the shapes, angles and curves of people and objects is heightened and I am continually fascinated by the fact that everyone\'s features are unique and I view this uniqueness as a challenge to capture.\"

Richard\'s innate artistic abilities have developed over a lifetime of inspiration from the world around him. He enrolled in Pepperdine University\'s Bachelor of Science in Business program and began sculpting in stone over 10 years ago but turned to clay and has never looked back. Richard molds clay in such as way as to turn inanimate static figures and bring them to life, capturing the details and nuances of the human form using live models. Come see what Richard has captured and let it take you on a journey of your own...
