“Richards creates a body of work that hints at the blank ‘abyss’ always lurking in our vibrant surroundings. The premise for her paintings centers around a reminder that human life, as well as the environment, is impermanent. With influence from historically significant thinkers, classic stories, existentialist philosophers and her love of cinema, Richards creates a haunting essence of landscapes that reveals the awareness of one’s place in time.”  - Gallery Director, Jaroslava Prihodova.
