Bio:
Richard Hayek - Artist, poet, geographer - can be found traveling back roads or trampling along creek beds impressing scenes into his mind, relying on his senses to record an honest moment in nature's history. Taking in the feel of the air, the teperament of the weather, the condition of the foliage, he makes notes. Back at the studio, he transfers the scene from his mind onto a fine-grain sand-paper surface using pastels and charcoal to create a visual representation of poetry. "Fascinated by the thin line between earth and sky, in the wonderment of the landscapes and the disposition, my artistic expression focuses on geographic habitats and their relationship with the forces that shape color, patterns, and the textures of nature."
