From Ads to Art: The SQWRIFY Story
Richard’s journey proves it’s never too late to trade high-stakes for high-texture. After 20 years navigating the corporate ad-tech grind, a period of deep introspection in 2023 and 2025 led to a vital shift. The vibrancy didn’t return in a boardroom; it sparked at home, watching his two-year-old son discover the raw joy of color.
That spark fueled a new mission: SQWRIFY.
SQWRIFY exists to turn the "ordinary" into art you can actually feel. Trading digital screens for palette knives and acrylics, Richard transforms simple subjects into bold statements.
His studio practice bridges distinct worlds: the structural drama of heavy-body acrylic landscapes, the rich, soulful depth of juried soft pastel portraiture, and the atmospheric transparency of watercolors. Across every discipline, his goal is to capture light, form, and character through a deeply tactile lens.
While the SQWRIFY vision spans Face (portraits) and Space (original works), the current focus is entirely on Place. Right now, SQWRIFY is exclusively hosting premium Paint Parties—bringing people together for immersive, hands-on creative experiences where art becomes deeply tactile, accessible, and extraordinary.
