Robert paints in acrylics & mixed media. Robert paints with spontaneity, emotion, and energy-resulting in pieces that arouse and captivate the viewer. His abstract paintings are expressions of his love for color. “My Abstract Paintings allow me to explore color, light and texture. Each painting is a joyful journey of layering color".

Robert is a self-taught Artist. He has only been painting for 15 years. He derives inspiration from the elements of the environment and from nature. Robert's Great Aunt Jessie Hollingsworth Schipfer (a Quaker) was a remarkable Artist and this always lingered in Robert's mind to follow in her footsteps. He has always been inspired by many noted Master Artists such as Joan Miro, Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter, Joan Mitchell, Grace Hartigan, and Perle Fine to name a few. As a young boy, Robert idolized many noted Artists such as Norman Rockwell, Andrew Wyeth, Paul Cezanne, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas and many others. When growing up his parents always took Robert and his siblings to art museums when they traveled.

Robert has Clients & Collectors in Canada, France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Australia, and the USA. Each painting is original, authentic, and personally signed, either on the front or side or back of the canvas. After creation an Acrylic UV Resistant/Archival Fine Gloss Varnish is applied to the surface of the painting to protect the quality of the painting and to safeguard your investment.

Artist Statement:

My Abstracts have Asian, Middle Eastern, and American Indian influences. They blend primitive and pre-historic arts with environmental inspirations such as landscapes and sky colors. I like building layers into my paintings. For me, it is like telling a story. Individuality is important in choice of color, texture, and shape as I create on the canvas space. I ponder my original intentions as I finalize the layers of the painting. Layering not only makes a strong statement, it also builds character and allows me to tell my Artist’s story. Each layer is like turning from one good book chapter to the next. I draw on the past and my artistic influences to create each piece. I want my paintings to arouse an individual’s mind and soul and to leave an everlasting impression.
