Roland Richardson (1944-)
Born to a family whose French Caribbean heritage dates back to the 1700's on the island of St. Martin, Sir Roland Richardson has recorded his culture over the past fifty years with his paintbrush and palette. He reveals his exotic, luminescent subject by painting pictures exclusively “en Plein Air”, working in the field and always from a living subject.
While his roots are in the Caribbean, universities around the world have taught aspiring artists about Sir Roland Richardson's contributions to Plein Air Impressionism. Throughout his long career, Sir Roland has been characterized as the “Father of Caribbean Impressionism.” He has been profiled in reputed periodicals that include the New York Times, the Washington Post, Elle, American Airlines Latitudes, Robb Report, Caribbean Travel & Life and Island Magazine. - Roland Richardson's Website
