Deborah Lovelace Richardson received a BFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. She had the good fortune to be able to study with well-known artists such as Raoul Middleman, Joseph Fiore, Philip Koch and Robert Kulicke. All of whom greatly influenced her love of landscape painting.
She has always preferred to paint outdoors in a small format that can be completed in one, or two, three hour sessions. She places down oil paint, analyzing one color as it relates to the one next to it. Each stroke of paint is put down as accurately as possible the first time, so little correction has to be made. This technique creates a rich surface with the emphasis on the stroke of the brush and the application of the paint to the surface, giving her work a very painterly quality.
Richardson paints weekly with Frederick Maryland’s enthusiastic plein air community and participates in several local plein air events each year. She has received numerous awards over the years and was honored to have her work featured in the Maryland Public Television special, “Historic Barns of Maryland”.
Deborah is a founding member of the Frederick Plein Air Artists, and a life member of the Delaplaine Visual Arts Center, Frederick County Art Association, and the Frederick County Landmarks Foundation. She exhibits in galleries and art shows in the Mid-Atlantic region. Deborah's art work can be viewed at her studio/gallery by appointment.
