Dick Morrill Richard Morrill attended art schools in Boston and New York. A variety of jobs followed, including department store window display, newspaper political cartooning, small religious sculpture, portraiture, and graphic design and illustration. He has exhibited his paintings and sculpture in a number of venues including a one person show at the Edward Hopper house dealing with the Nixon administration. For some years he also taught a variety of studio courses at Pratt, Parsons and Suny, while also planning and directing a number of student art programs abroad. Currently he spends full time at his painting. Statement To me each act of painting is an exploration and discovery that sometimes occurs upon the surface of the canvas, in a wonderful and mysterious way, providing lady luck is in your pocket that day. Without any forethought ideas can be born in tandem with the motion of the brush. Obviously one’s training and years of work are always there, but ideally on a subconscious level. My subject matter is very much a mixture of my life experiences, dreams and influences by the masters. I have never cared about being a part of any school or current fashion. Nor do I want to limit myself to any stylistic assembly line consistency. My ambition is to find some pictorial instant of truth that can help penetrate the conundrum in which we all linger. – Richard Morrill
