Richard Kennedy

Dorset-based professional artist, Richard Kennedy, has been creating a wide range of artwork for over thirty years.

Richard attended art college in the ’70s.

Through ’84 – ’94 he lived outside Netherbury near Bridport in West Dorset where he completed a range of highly detailed pen and ink miniaturist drawings.
Richard subsequently had a busy gallery at Dunluce Castle, County Antrim, where he expanded his range, again inspired by the scenery.

In the mid-’90s Richard embraced his family’s Royal Navy tradition by producing pencil and scalpel blade drawings of British warships during the last war.

Areas of rock music have always been of great interest to him so images of Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd are here too – though for viewing only as the prints are no longer available.

All of Richard’s other pictures are available as signed prints, the more recent being of acid-free, conservation quality.

Richard has been back in West Dorset for the last decade or so and now lives near Beaminster, up in the hills above this historic old town. He still makes frequent visits to Ireland.

Recently, he has started abstract painting and his originals are, this time, for sale.
