In our small gallery, watercolor paintings by Richard Parker will be exhibited. At 100 years old, Richard is the oldest surviving World War II veteran in South Kingstown. After the war he graduated from RISD, moved to New York and had a distinguished career in advertising. In his retirement he became a painter and writer. For years Richard and his wife, Ann Lewis Parker, were members of SCAA. That name may sound familiar to some of our members. Every year at our Members Exhibit we give the Ann Lewis Parker Award for the best watercolor painting. Richard has generously donated a collection of paintings to SCAA and proceeds from the sales will support the Ann Lewis Parker Award Fund. To learn more about his accomplishments, read this article by the South County Independent.
