My name is Erich Richter and I am the Art Teacher at HFHS. I am wrapping up my 2nd year here as Hinckley-Finlayson's high school art teacher. Previously I taught in Silver Bay and Pine City. I was born and raised in Mora. I specialize in 2-D art (drawing, digital drawing, painting, digital photography/photo editing). I received a bachelor's in Art (athletic coaching minor) from North Dakota State University, and a bachelor's in Art Education from Valley City State University. I later completed a master's degree in Art Education from the University of Nebraska Kearney.
