Richard West Nash b. c.1808

  • Artist (Draughtsman)
With well developed careers as a journalist, lawyer and farmer, it seems that Nash's reputation as an artist, in particular as a sketcher, remains unclear. Nash migrated to Western Australia with his wife in 1839 only to return to England 10 years later.
