The Tryon Painters and Sculptors is hosting an exhibit of watercolors by Richard Kaiser at the Fine Arts Center in Tryon, NC, from Mar. 7 - 30, 2004.

Kaiser is a graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. He served in the US Army during the Korean Conflict where, among other duties, he did illustrations for the 7th Army newspaper. After his military service, he completed the remaining two years at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. After graduation he worked in the Ohio area; then in several Pittsburgh advertising agencies before moving to New York.

Kaiser worked in commercial art in the New York metropolitan area for 40 years as a self-employed graphic artist and illustrator for a number of high profile companies. Kaiser's watercolors are in many private collections, including the North Carolina National Bank, Duke University, and, most notably, Wachovia National Bank which used one of his paintings for their Corporate Year 2000 holiday greeting card.

Kaiser is an associate member of the American Watercolor Society and a member of the Garden State Watercolor Society. His work has also been featured in the American Artist magazine. His book, Painting Outdoor Scenes in Watercolor, is currently out of print; however, his works continue to be featured in North Light Publications' own books. Prior to moving to North Carolina, he taught watercolor painting in several adult school systems in New Jersey. Since moving to North Carolina, he has taught adult classes at Blue Ridge Community College and was invited to teach at the 2002 Cheap Joe's Art Supplies Workshop in Boone, NC.
