Recent Printmaking

A Northwest painter and printmaker who resides in the Portland, Oregon area, Rob works primarily in pastel and oil mediums but is also a printmaker. Rob’s interest is in the landscape and he lives in Northwest to be close to a variety of geography and geology in wild lands. His work starts with plein air paintings, sketches and experiences. Rob strives to create in his work both physical landscape and an inner landscape where the mind’s experience of a place plays a part. A Portland collector described Rob’s work by stating “I’ve been looking at a lot of art and nobody puts color on a canvas more effectively than Rob. He must have an intense response to what he sees, a sensory love affair with nature. The result is a distinctive style of painting which enlivens the most placid scene without slipping over into excess.” Rob holds a BFA in Painting from Pacific Northwest College of Art.
