about the artist
Richard Marchand was born and raised in Fort McMurray Canada. Living there had a huge influence on his early aesthetic sensibilities as the town, while nestled in the woods, is also privy to miles of nearby manmade wasteland via the oilsands project.

The contrast between natural beauty and the often enigmatic side of technology plays a large role in his work as do various mystical experiences during my formative years.

Currently he lives in Vancouver Canada with his wife Catherine and works as a freelance artist.
