Born in Toledo, Ohio, Richard Ewen attended Ohio Wesleyan University where he majored in history and minored in
fine art and education. In 1971 he received an MFA Degree from Cranbrook
Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He then moved to Los Angeles
where he worked for two years printing silk screens and lithographs for master
artists at Gemini, GEL, a fine art publisher and began to paint in his studio
there. He has taught silk screen printing at Art Center School of Design in
Pasadena, and watercolor painting at LA Community College and 8th Street
Studios in Georgetown, Texas. He has held workshops and lectures in Los
Angeles, Laguna Hills, California, and Georgetown, Texas. He moved to Austin,
Texas in 2006. He is a member of the American Watercolor Society, the Texas
Watercolor Society.
Since 1993 he has spent time in France painting landscapes in the Ile de France
and cityscapes in Paris. He is currently painting richly colorful and intricate
watercolors of the reflections in the store windows of Paris and in the Texas
Hill Country. "I think of a still life painting as equivalent to a string
quartet in music, and a landscape like a symphony. Combining the still life
quality of the display in the store window and the cityscape reflections of the
street behind the viewer creates an interesting and complex composition."
