Author Information

Born October 27, 1943 in Nashville Tennessee. At the age of five he moved with his family to Atlanta, Georgia. As a child, Richmond discovered that he could draw and paint, so he decided to be an artist. While at the University of Georgia in Athens in 1961, he gained valuable skills in painting and sculpture. In 1965 Mr. Stubbs was part of a three man show at Artists Associates Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia. During that time he worked for Sears and Roebuck during the day and made welded steel sculptures in his parent's basement at night. When he returned to school in 1966 he was given two years credit by the University of Tennessee because of his professional status. He graduated in 1967 with a major in sculpture and a minor in art history. For the next two years he lived in Oak Ridge, Tennessee making and selling sculpture. 1969 he enrolled in the Tulane graduate school in New Orleans. Spring of 1971 he received an M. F.A. degree from Tulane University. The thesis for the degree was Seeing Sculpture as Landscape . During the seventies and early eighties Mr. Stubbs sculpted large crosses for church sanctuaries, along with several hundred small inlaid crosses. Also during this time he created several small sculptures in steel with themes expressing dance. One of the most notable shows of the eighties was a juried gift show at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. His submission, a painting titled In The Deep Wood hung in between a drawing by Alexander Calder and a print by Marc Chagall. In the nineties Mr. Stubbs visited and lived in New Mexico for about six years. He showed in several galleries in Santa Fe, most notably The Waxlander-Kadouri gallery. He spent his creative energies painting the landscape with watercolor and making sculptures with the following themes: reggae dancers, the Eagliss series, visions from the bird tribe, the cocky cowgirl series, plus the lizard and dragon series. At the beginning of the new millenium Richmond worked with his friend Jim Mauritsen at the Mauritsen studio carving bears and eagles and fish and feather bowls on the side of the road in Ruidoso, New Mexico. He said... it was the most fun I have had thus far as an artist! Richmond continues creating art in Atlanta, and is available for commissioned work.
