Richard G. Nolan

My art communicates a strong emphasis on design, derived from my past profession as a product development design engineer. My background guides the principle that I never repeat my designs - they are each one of a kind. Each piece is meticulously planned out in advanced, allowing me to formulate solutions with great confidence and with impeccable accuracy. My greatest reward is a sophisticated admirer’s wonderment as to how my works of art are constructed. My “sculptures” are constructed principally from cherry and walnut hardwoods; utilizing conventional woodworking tools, a strong reliance on self-developed techniques used for seamless joining and a great deal of belt, drum and hand sanding. While continually building on mastered achievements, each creation demands that I challenge myself by introducing processes, techniques and shapes that have yet to be experienced. This compulsion to constantly test my capabilities is what drives and inspires me to grow as an artist.
