 As far back as Bob can remember he has been drawing and painting. When he was around ten a favorite Aunt took him to an exhibition of French Impressionists. This experience overwhelmed and propelled him into the life of an artist.
Bob graduated from the York Academy of Arts in 1970, but stopped painting for nearly ten years because of confusion engendered by the wildly divergent influences of his instructors. But, he says, he 'never stopped painting in my mind.' Bob's return to painting was triggered in 1983 when he moved to Texas, and saw the unique vistas of the Southwest. He loved the landscapes of stark simplicity and solitary beauty, but it was the qualities of the light and colors that inspired him most.
Bob lectures, demonstrates, teaches painting workshops, and is a signature member of the Knickerbocker Artists, USA.
His work can be found in numerous corporate and private collections internationally and is represented by galleries throughout the country.
