    Printer-friendly Artist Sheet

    Richard Whitney is noted for his portraits and landscapes painted in a traditional manner. Whitney graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of New Hampshire in 1968. He studied with Sidney F. Willis and with the noted Boston painter, R.H. Ives Gammell, for 5 years. He is on the Board of Advisors for the American Society of Portrait Artists. Whitney's memberships have included Society of Illustrators, National Arts Club, Allied Artists of America, the American Artists Professional League, the Guild of Boston Artists and the Copley Society.

    Whitney has won more than 30 regional and national awards, and his paintings hang in over 400 public and private collections throughout the United States and abroad, including Harvard University, the University of Chicago. He is the youngest artist in history to have a painting in the permanent collection of the State Capitol of Massachusetts, and is one of a handful of artists to receive three grants from the Greenshields Foundation of Montreal.

    Traditional realism depicts the style of Whitney. Full of sensitivity and emotion, Whitney's portraits can be felt and touched with the eye. One can actually feel the softness of a sweater or the moisture of the skin through sight instead of touch. Whitney's attention to detail is consistently apparent in its highest form. Whitney expresses that his constant goal is 'to capture what is beautiful in each person and make it come alive.'
