WILD WEST FEST 2005: LISA

Richard was the featured artist for Telluride's 14th annual WILD WEST FEST 2005, hosted by the Sheridan Arts Foundation. For the event he created “Lisa,” the bas-relief shown below. A photograph of Lisa was superimposed over the bronze for the event poster. During the festival, Richard held a poster signing at which the sculpture was auctioned as an event fund-raiser. Every year the WILD WEST FEST brings at-risk youth to Telluride for a week of theater, dance and outdoor activities. The event always honors a celebrated artist who participates in the festivities.
