As a painting and Fine Arts major at the University of Illinois, Bob exhibited oil and watercolor landscapes and still lifes throughout the Chicago area during the late fifties and early sixties.
Upon graduation he migrated to New York and began a successful and award winning career as a Creative Director in the Advertising business.

Thirty five years later, in 1998, he returned to his first love, painting. Since then he has studied at the Silvermine School of Art in New Canaan, CT., the Washington Art Association in Washington CT., the National Academy of Design and the Art Students’ League in New York City. Now living in South Kent, CT. and New York City, he is exhibiting again and has resumed a vital and prolific career as a painter and print maker. His work has recently been exhibited at the Silvermine Guild Gallery, the Paris-New York-Kent Gallery and the Morrison Gallery, also in Kent, CT. In addition to exhibiting, Bob is also teaching through the Washington Art Association.

Of his work, he says: “my paintings are not profound, they do not protest, they do not satirize... they are mere expressions of pure joy. That is the way I feel while painting them, and that is the way I want people to feel while viewing them.
