Richard Van Reyper

​

Richard Van Reyper attended the School of Associated Arts in St. Paul, Minnesota. Using concept art and illustration, he worked as a free-lance advertising artist from the late 1940s to 1960, when he decided to pursue fine art.

​

Van Reyper's first medium was watercolor and his art education continued with countless watercolor workshops until the late 1960s when he began to work in oil.

​

By 1998, oil was his only medium. His use of color, his strong composition and brushwork create images that captivate and hold the interest of the viewer.

​

Paintings by Van Reyper are owned by the Lake Superior Museum of Fine Art, Schroeder, Minnesota. Galleries in Park City, Utah; St. Paul, Minnesota; Tucson and Tubac represent him.
