Richard Adams (b.1960) is a master of the imagination and a pastel artist of the highest calibre

Drawing deep inspiration from the English countryside, vernacular architecture, and rural history, Adams creates highly idiosyncratic, bucolic worlds populated by quirky characters engaged in simple domestic and everyday pursuits. 

Adams studied illustration at Leicester Polytechnic where he received a BA Hon degree. Having been born in Hampshire his family later moved to the stunning South Cotswold countryside of Wiltshire, a landscape that has had a strong and lasting influence on his work.

Following his graduation Adams first moved to London where for many years he produced images for clients such as BP and the Radio Times and since then settled in East Sussex.
