"Tetrault gives us the Downtown Eastside not from the perspective of a squeamish yuppie who got off at the wrong bus stop, but from an insider's compassionate eye."
-- Michael Harris

Richard's paintings, prints and murals fuse together allegorical figures with urban landscapes, creating a timeless space that invites the viewer to look through windows into both the past and the future."
-- Pamela Fairfield, curator and contributor

"The most striking characteristic of Richard Tetrault's art is its integrity of purpose."
