Born in Idaho, Richard Parrish, a featured artist in the Bullseye Exhibition, maintains a studio for kiln-formed glass and architecture in Bozeman, Montana. “As an artist and an architect, I find inspiration in both the human-made environment and the landscape of the American west where I grew up and live now. I am fascinated by the juxtaposition of the constructed and natural environments, which I often explore in my work, and am particularly interested in the interaction of light and color. ... the act of physically making something is essential to my being. It is a way to access memories of past and future, both individual and collective."
Parrsih holds a Master of Architecture degree from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Idaho in Moscow. He was awarded best artist in his category at the Western Design Conference Exhibition in 2008 and 2009. His work was selected for the Corning Museum of Glass’ New Glass Review 27, and he was awarded the American Craft Council Award of Achievement in 2003. His artwork is in public and private collections in the United States and Europe
