Richard Sullivan is a Braves fan living in Louisville, Kentucky. From a young age, he had two loves in life: art and baseball. Throughout his life, he found ways to combine the two, culminating in a baseball career at one of the preeminent art schools in the country, Savannah College of Art and Design.
Richard was drafted by the Atlanta Braves while at SCAD and would go on to spend five years in the organization before eventually being released. As his baseball career was winding down, Richard was able to devote more time to his art, and is now a fine artist focusing in watercolor. His work can be found at Truist Park and the Baseball Hall of Fame, along with many other impressive locations.
Anna and Richard chat about how playing sports is like a cheat code helping athletes develop discipline that serves them well later in life, what it was like to be a professional pitcher, and how his career in sports helps him convey emotion and action in his artwork.
