This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Richard Grosvenor was born in France to American parents in 1928. He grew up in Providence and Newport, Rhode Island and attended Groton School in Groton, Massachusetts where he studied with Richard S. Meryman. Grosvenor graduated from Harvard University in 1951 with a degree in Fine Arts.
He worked as a commercial artist before being appointed to head the Art Department of St. George's School in Newport where he taught for 40 years.
Grosvenor is best known for his watercolors and multi-paneled paintings in oil. His work reflects the sea and its coast and, since he is also a pilot, he often uses an aerial perspective.
He has received awards from the Providence Art Club, the Newport Art Museum, and the Rhode Island Watercolor Society. Grosvenor's work is included in community, corporate and private collections throughout the country and was selected for the White House Historical Society Calendar of 2000.
In 2002, he wrote and illustrated Newport: an Artist's Impression of its Architecture and History.
