The artist is Richard Heisler. He was born in New Jersey in 1973 and currently lives and works in Seattle, Washington. A young and upcoming artist. His first exhibit was in 2001 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. When Richard first began his career, he painted a lot of the countryside and the Amish but has since turned his focus on Japan in a new project called "100 Views of Tokyo". He has a meticulous eye for detail. It amazes me that someone can look at a scene and then capture it by painting or drawing it. I am speechless about the detail of all of the pictures. I saw a few of his paintings here at the museum and thought that I would check out more of his work. I like what I see. Would you display this kind of art in your home?
