Come hear Richard Blake discuss his art and creative process. In the Wall Lowcountry Center Auditorium at 3:00 p.m.

Richard Blake’s education in art started when he was nine years old.  He enrolled at the Samuel Fleisher Art Memorial, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he studied drawing and painting.  At the age of fifteen, Blake changed from painting to sculpture and quickly became totally immersed in all facets of sculptural expression.  Later he competed and won a full scholarship to the Tyler School of Fine Arts.  While a student at Tyler, Blake was awarded the Stewardson Prize by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for his competence in figure modeling.  After graduation, he continued his studies independently in Europe and Central America.  Currently, Blake resides and works in the scenic Amish countryside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  He recently retired from West Chester University where he taught sculpture and life drawing.  Blake’s sculptures have been included in over 100 international and national exhibitions and are represented in many private collections and public outdoor commissions.  His work has received numerous honors and awards from the nation’s oldest and most venerated art institutions including the National Sculpture Society and the National Academy of Design.  He is a Fellow and a past president of the National Sculpture Society.
