Richard was born in London in 1968 and attended Sherborne School, Dorset with an art scholarship. In 1986 he gained a place at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Since graduating in 1990 he has worked full time as a fine artist, with his work appearing in numerous exhibitions around the country and in various private and corporate collections. His work as an artist ranges from the figurative to the abstract. Depending upon the subject matter he uses a whole range of mediums (oils, oil pastels, watercolours, charcoal and chalk) to create original paintings and drawings. From these paintings and drawings come the designs for 'The Richard Bramble Collection' of ceramics, textiles, boards and mat ranges. Different mediums capture aspects of the original artwork - for example the richness of oil paint can be captured in the the ceramic colours and glazes, the vibrant watercolours (from the whiteness of the paper) can be evoked by using white porcelain as the base. The waviness of the glass boards on top of fish and shellfish paintings gives suggest the feeling of water.
