Richard Fenker

Dr. Richard Fenker is a Texas artist, writer and inventor living in Fort Davis, Texas and Santa Fe, New Mexico. His strongest artistic influences came from Picasso, Georgia O’Keefe and Ansel Adams, with whom he was privileged to study in 1976. His traditional black and white landscape photography has been featured in many shows and published in a variety of books and magazines, including his book on the Big Bend, Where Rainbows Wait for Rain. Although Richard often uses photography as a starting point, his recent abstract color work on leaves, butterflies, stones, French architecture and western landscapes all take the form of prints. At heart, Richard is as much an impressionist or abstract realist as a traditional photographer.
