Richard Dack RSMA is the current Chairman of the East Anglian Group of Marine Artists and also Secretary of the Royal Society of Marine Artists.
Richard Dack studied painting and printmaking at Camberwell School of Art, where drawing and rigorous observation were central to a regime that insisted on the relationships between form, tone and colour being struck exactly - disciplines that served him well in his development as an artist.
Following art school he taught for a while in Cambridgeshire, and late in Devon, before making the transition to full-time painter.

Royal Society of Marine Artists, where since becoming a member
he has received the Shipwrights Prize on two occasions, the
Classic Boat Prize and in 2010 the Sea Pictures Gallery Working

Opens Competitions.
Richard grew up in Lowestoft when it was a flourishing port,
with a bustling fish market and busy shipyards. This rich
environment provide the subject matter for his first serious
adventures into painting while at school, and this attraction to
the industrial aspects of the maritime world played a large part
in his eventual emergence as a marine artist, and remains with
him to this day. |

of the delicate and transient quality of light that is so
characteristic of the east coast. He now lives in Suffolk. Richard's work is always available at |
