About the Artist Robert grew up on the pulpy pages of comic books, spending the hot
and humid Arkansas summers reading stories of heroes and
hardships and everything in between. This love of story grew
alongside his love of drawing, forming a deep and solid foundation for
creative sensibilities to build on. Development of these narrative ideas
and a fondness for the figure stayed with him through his studies at
the University of Arkansas at Little Rock where he received his
degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in Drawing. Robert has
exhibited his visual narratives in exhibitions around the nation, and
several of his works are in collections both private and public around
the country.
Robert currently serves as the Chair of the Painting and Drawing
Departments of the Windgate Art School of the Arkansas Museum of
Fine Arts, where he helps to design course curriculum and teach
drawing and painting. He also teaches figure drawing at the
University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Still simmering in the Arkansas
summers, Robert lives and works in Little Rock, slinging stories on
canvas and paper in his studio.
