About this Event

Robert, currently lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado and has gotten to travel and find inspiration in many places, for example: the raw beauty of the landscape in Iceland, or the sensory overload of the crane migration in Nebraska. However, before all that, growing up as a boy scout meant that Robert had a lot of time to appreciate the beautiful outdoors. It is only natural that his art follows suit. He spent most of his time during Jr High and high school painting portraits. Herman Raymond, an internationally renowned artist (and a really exceptional guy) was also teaching him the art of watercolors outside of school.

When Robert went to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago ‘we really started cooking with fire.’ It was a whole new world of art for him. During his time at SAIC Robert focused his attentions on wood working - finding a balance between form and function and discovering what the art world has to offer. When he graduated, he got a studio in Chicago and found new inspiration in the many trails the midwest had to offer. Having lived in dry temperature his whole life, humid plant life became his inspiration. He approached the subject matter of nature, like roots and fungus, in an abstract way.

Eventually the inspiration plant life gave evolved into a fascination in BIRDS. From there his art became a growing fondness for our feathery friends and how they let him accumulate all he has learned.

Robert has shown his art in galleries such as the Kinderhook Tap in Chicago and G44 Gallery in Colorado. However, he has really come to enjoy showing in art fairs, it lets him travel and bird-watch to his heart's content as he sells his art and discovers new bird life.
