Richard Bollinger's studio is located in West Chester, PA, but his art is known around the globe. He has been honored by the Neographic Association with gold and silver awards of excellence on numerous occasions, and selected by the United States Department of State Arts in Embassies Program which promoted and exhibited his work on nearly every continent.

This year Wendell August is honored to bring you our 2011 Annual Plate featuring Bollinger's strokes of excellence from "Running Mates" which depicts one of his classic American winter scenes. Of course this piece is handmade in the USA because it is from Wendell August. Combine this with the artist, and the scene he has masterfully depicted, and you have a truly American piece for your American tradition. Add it to your collection, or start your American tradition this year with Running Mates, available in pewter and bronze.
