Originally trained as a figurative artist, Robert has been rendering historic Bay Area agricultural landmarks since 1997.

Teaching Philosophy and Approach

“As an artist, I visually celebrate the invisible spirits of people and places. As a teacher I nurture the unique inner spirit of each student while providing them a proven process to successfully design and render illusionistic paintings and drawings.”
