Acrylic works by Penn Cove Gallery artist, Rich Nash (at left), will be featured at Christopher's Restaurant in Coupeville during May and June. Christopher's is one of four off-site exhibit locations that exclusively feature work by Penn Cove Gallery artists.
Richard is a Northwest native and is both a painter and a sculptor. He is a former secondary art teacher in the Oak Harbor School District, but says he has "been a student of the fine arts his entire adult life."

Richard's primary medium is acrylics on either museum board or on stretched canvas with a gesso-prepared surface. He says that although his "work is abstract, the 'inspiration' for much of it comes from the play of light - often from multiple sources - and shadows and architectural forms on natural forms." The Northwest coastal environment provides much of his palette.
