This artist is on my list for two main reasons. The first reason being that her paintings are beautiful and do an excellent job reflecting emotion and real life women and the second being that most of her painted subjects are female and my senior seminar project subjects are also going to be female.
Just a few of Richard's spectacular works are below:

Based in Québec, Danielle Richard has shown her work all over the world in different collections and solo and collective exhibitions. She has also received many awards and been in countless publications. Richard received her Diploma of Collegial Studies in Plastic Arts and Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts. She also took a semester of Stone Lithography, a semester of Drawing and Watercolor at Oxford University and took "En plein Air Masters" with C.W. Mundy in France. Richards is becoming a very popular artist and her work is being seen in more and more places all over the globe.
What does she do?
According to her website, Richard's work "demonstrates a quest for beauty, its guiding principle. It reflects moments of silence and peace inspired by life away from tumult." Richard paints "the eternal feminine.. the one that best displays the emotions she favors." Richard paints mainly female subjects in the mediums of pastels, acrylic paint and oil paint. her works have a very realistic feel to them and aim to be timeless. One thing that I enjoy about Richard's pieces is the way she creates lighting on each figure and the areas surrounding them. She is excellent at creating texture and reflections in her works and placing highlights and shadows where they need to be.
Why she inspires me?
Richard's work can help me with my own by teaching me more about lighting and by helping me illustrate female characters, as this is mostly what Richard does. By looking at this artist's works I can better understand the proportions and forms of the female character and especially how different types of lighting interact with them. Richard's art is beautiful and she really does do an excellent job portraying the emotions of each character in her work.
