Bio
Richard Sharum grew up in Corpus Christi, TX but moved to Dallas in 1996. From there he started his artistic career painting and playing music, but it wasn't until moving to the West Coast that he took up photography. He traveled along the Pacific and lived in various towns for three years, learning to meet people and photograph along the way. He now works professionally in Dallas.
Since then he has had major commissions resulting in extensive essays in several locations including Washington D.C.; New York, New York; New Orleans, Louisiana; Bay Minette, Alabama; Marfa, Texas; and of course Dallas, Texas where he resides today.
