The Quiet Man with the Loud Voice

The Quiet Man with the Loud Voice

Writing  and photography by Justin Negard "They call me the quiet guy,” says painter Richard Chandler. “But I’m really not. If you pay attention, I’m actually making a lot of noise.” Chandler is a man of contradictions. His slender appearance and thick-rimmed glasses are unassuming yet visually striking. He speaks in soft tones yet serves as the voice of many ...
