RICHARD FERGUSON

In school, Ferguson enjoyed mechanical drawing, which gave him a greater understanding of perspective and relationships in art. As much as he loved it, however, he majored in finance and pursued a more traditional career Now, art has become a passion for him. “For me, painting is an exciting adventure into the unknown, where I can explore, experiment, make my own rules and feel excitement as a painting takes shape,” says Ferguson, who works in oil, acrylic and Venetian plaster. “I love creating, playing with textures and throwing paint. It’s really playing and having fun. I draw on memories of unusual places I have been, things I have seen and experiences in life, from being outdoors with my family, in the military and during travels to various countries.”

Ferguson splits his time between his home in Columbus, Ohio, and Bluffton, South Carolina. He is a member of the Charleston Artist Guild and the Society of Bluffton Artists. His work is represented at the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery and the 400 West Rich gallery in Columbus. RICHARD
