Profile

RICHARD TETRAULT

I am a Vancouver-based artist whose practice bridges painting, printmaking, and community-based public art. Since establishing my East Vancouver studio in 1976, I have worked to integrate artistic expression with social engagement, exploring how collective creativity can shape and reflect community identity.

My paintings and prints have been shown and collected locally and worldwide. Over the years, my public work has evolved through both solo and collaborative projects—murals, mosaics, and relief pieces that bring together diverse voices and shared narratives.Projects including Through the Eye of the Raven, The Russian Hall, and Community Walls/Community Voices highlight a collaborative approach as central to the creative process.

As co-founder of the Creative Cultural Collaborations Society, I have taken part in initiatives such as Big Print Projects, the Black Strathcona Project, The Blue Cabin Project, and Eastside Mural Projects—platforms that celebrate artistic diversity and collaboration; links to these projects are on this site.
