Richard L Casey - Turquoise Tortoise Gallery [Sedona Arizona]

Richard L. Casey

The Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts influenced Richard L. Casey greatly as he grew up in the midst of that well-established artistic haven and from an early age his talent was evident. Officials at the Berkshire Art Museum were so impressed they sponsored art lessons for him at no charge before Casey's formal training continued at The Art Center in Los Angeles and at UCLA. As with many artists, Casey first applied his exceptional talents to a mainstream career thriving as a successful architect in California. However, it was his pure artistic longings that won out.

First concentrating on intaglio and serigraphy Casey returned to the East Coast and remodeled an old paper mill into a studio where he began developing original techniques for paper-making. As his paper works grew larger and more complex in form, drying time became an issue but rather than downscaling his art Casey relocated to the drier climate of the desert southwest. And so the inspiration of this devoted artist became the craggy, raw and majestic mountains of the desert.

Casey pieces became bold, jutting and powerful offering intricate technique to canvasses that strain to encompass the dimension that has come to define the artist's work. Casey's eye for texture and color inspires contemporary lines that are at once calm and invigorating, elegant and daring. His work demands inspection. His collectors are people and corporations from every corner of the world. Casey's canvases are timeless.
