I am over the moon to let you know that the show Daggi Wallace and I have been planning has been confirmed, with a tentative date of April 2022. I know that might seem like a stupidly long time from now, but I am actually worried that I won’t have enough time. Of course, anyone who knows me is aware that I am always concerned about that but the show we are planning is quite ambitious. Normally I wouldn’t show work from the show before the opening, because we actually want people to come, but with COVID, I am planning on changing things up a bit. I will show a few of the finished works as they are completed so you can get an idea of the quality of the show, but I am mainly planning on showing progress images for each piece on my Instagram page as the show develops. You can find me on Instagram @richardwilliambarnett.

The above featured piece will be in the show, and is called “Vegetarian Mecca”.  It and a few other pieces from the show will be available for purchase prior to the opening through this site. 

Thank you for stopping by!
