Richard Bawden (1936-present, British) was born in Braintree, Essex, England the son of the famous artist Edward Bawden. Richard studied art at Chelsea, St. Martin’s and the Royal College of Art.
His art is somewhat difficult to discern from that of his father. Both loved cats and include them in most of their works. Domestic and garden scenes where cats are usually seen are his dominate works. He does sketches, etchings, linocuts, and watercolors.
Richard Bawden has done book illustrations, murals, church windows, textiles, engraved glass and furniture design. In addition, he has held over 50 exhibitions in England and abroad. Today Bawden is a Council member of the Royal Watercolour Society (RWS), an elected member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE), a member of the New English Art Club (NEAC), and a former Chairman of the Gainsborough House Print Workshop in Sudbury, England. He lives in Suffolk.
