Ralph Prichard

I am a Maryland Artist living on the Chesapeake Bay. I graduated as my high school class Artist in 1971. My high school Art Teacher was David Turnbaugh, the renowned Maryland artist. Mr. Turnbaugh is the main reason I am still creating art today.

I took a few night classes at Towson University and a local community college, but I am mostly self-taught. My career was demanding and I put my art supplies on the side for about 40 years. I retired in 2019 and started painting again.
