Biography


Biography of Richard Waters
I am a multi media artist and work in painting, digital art presented as giclee prints and in musical inventions most notable being the Waterphone.

I have been working in the arts for over 40 years in MS, CA, and HI.  I recently returned to my home here in Ocean Springs and have set up a studio here where I live.  I have also worked in a number of music ensembles mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area and am represented on a number of albums and CDs including one that I produced myself "Water Dreams".  My instrument, the Waterphone, is well represented on movie sound tracks and utilized by both touring bands and symphonies world wide.  I have exhibited both in museums and galleries across the USA and was scheduled to show at the Walter Anderson Museum of Art here in Ocean Springs in Oct./Nov. but Katrina changed all of that and I will be rescheduling my show for next year.
