Art Business News Magazine featured Richard Thomas, Sculptor, in its September/October 2010 edition. The entire magazine is dedicated to “Today’s Top Artists” and as editior-in-Chief, Kristin Stefek Brashares notes, “…we selected the artists for this special honor based on certain criteria. Each artist had to have significant representation in galleries nationwide and successful limited-edition and/or originals programs.” Needless to say, it’s a great honor to be included in this small group of elite artists.
