Richard L. Baron was born an adventurer and artist. His early years were spent hunting, hiking, fishing, and exploring the New England landscape. Richard's recognition as an artist began in high school when he won two "National Scholastic Awards" for photography; this led to a scholarship from the Boston Museum School of Fine Art. Richard's art education continued and his love of advertising and design was developed at the University of Copenhagen. His work is seen by millions of people around the world. Writing was a natural transition for him and he has been enjoying this creative outlet for many years.
