Capturing moments that matter most
I create realistic portraits that capture defining moments; from match winning goals and podium finishes, to personal milestones and memories. While much of my work focuses on sport, I also produce bespoke portraits that celebrate meaningful moments in people’s lives. By combining a modern approach with fine art techniques and storytelling, I create artwork that is both meaningful and memorable, collaborating closely with individuals, athletes and brands.

Behind the art
Hi, I’m Richard, a portrait artist and secondary school art teacher based in Leicestershire, with a Fine Art degree from Loughborough University. It was during lockdown that I rediscovered my passion for painting, especially portraiture. I specialise in realistic portraits that capture moments that matter, from sporting milestones to personal achievements.
Since then, I’ve worked with clients including Amazon Prime Sport, Majesticks Golf Club, and footballers like James McClean, Garnacho and Antony. My work has also been shared by Manchester United. Alongside commissions, I continue to develop my skills, connect with others and inspire through both my art and teaching.
