Richard busy engaging		Richard Keating MA Richard trained in landscape design, environmental management, counselling and drawing and has extensive experience of project management, community development, group facilitation and learning. His work crosses boundaries between arts and landscape regeneration and is to do with facilitating creativity and partnerships. Richards' creative interest in drawing and photography is both about the landscape and the process of engaging people in their locality; as a way of affecting the landscape around us and within us. He is particularly interested in observing and exploring his relationship with nature, especially as found in the woodland landscape, by making works that combine digitally produced and drawn images. Richard is director of a company developing a landscape visitor, education and enterprise centre in my hometown of Stroud.
