D.K. RichardsonFor over 46 years, award winning artist, D.K. Richardson has been dedicated to the Arts. Realism has been her focus.

Native to Texas, Richardson currently resides in Austin, Texas where she accepts portrait commissions and has a teaching studio for instructing students in portraiture, still life and landscape. In 2004, Richardson was commissioned to do a portrait of Martin Fryer, Senior Pro Rodeo Calf Roper, on his favorite horse.
