As an artist Randy Richmond’s ability to capture the tension that occupies the space between subject and background, light and dark bring a palpable vibration that imbues his photographic work with a sense of depth and time. The still-life arrangement has been an area of concentration for Richmond for much of his career as an artist. Recently he combined still-life and landscape in a body of work that became a solo exhibition at the Figge Art Museum (Davenport, IA.) titled “Verisimilitude”.
Richmond has shown his work in numerous solo, group, invitational, and juried exhibits nationally, and internationally. He has been represented in five museum exhibitions including three group exhibits, one invitational exhibit, and one solo exhibition. His interpretation of environmental issues have been the focus of special exhibits created for the Door County Land Trust (WI.), the Keeweenaw Land Trust (MI.), the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation (IA.), and the Nahant Marsh (IA.). His work is in permanent collections at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, the Figge art museum in Davenport, Iowa, The Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado, Kishwaukee College in Malta Illinois, and Project Art of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. He balances his creative time with teaching photography as an adjunct instructor at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa.
