Richard Turner’s aesthetics and creativity reflect a treasure trove of artistic, community and technical expression starting in perhaps the most culturally and politically dynamic era in U.S. history – the 1960’s.

Always one to seek out more forms of creative expression, Richard shattered yet another color barrier, by turning to the motion picture industry as a career. This pursuit led him to realize a lucrative foothold as a cameraman, for major motion pictures (another shattered barrier); all the while he still continued to create traditional art, i.e. painting, sculptures, etc. Whether through painting, sculpture or assemblage, Turner attempts to portray the private and personal aspects of life; the un-noticed and uncelebrated doings of life.

Born in Los Angeles, CA, Richard attended Los Angeles City College and Otis Parsons School of Design.
