Low Country Artist

April 27 - July 30

Born on July 12, 1972, in the coastal city of Savannah, Georgia, Richard Law’s artwork is deeply rooted in his Southern upbringing, Black culture, and the landscapes of Georgia and South Carolina. Raised by a social worker and a minister, his upbringing instilled a strong work ethic, faith, and moral principles, all of which shine through in his artistic endeavors.

A self-taught artist, Richard began painting as a hobby, and after a friend recognized his talent, he was encouraged to sell his work. This marked the beginning of his evolution as an artist, fostering a love for creating pieces that tell the stories of his life and surroundings.

In addition to his artistic achievements, Richard is also a talented barber and musician, having mastered both the flute and saxophone. His paintings are a reflection of his life experiences, often portraying elements like barbershop scenes, musicians, and the iconic container ships passing through Savannah's busy ports. Drawing from folk art, jazz, and contemporary styles, Richard’s work captures the essence of the Lowcountry, blending religious values and cultural narratives into every canvas.

Through his paintings, Richard Law not only shares his personal journey but invites others to connect with the beauty and richness of the world around him.
