With a BFA in fine arts, Rob has been painting professionally for over 16 years, both as a 'Scenic Artist’ and as a ‘Mural Artist’. For 6 years, Rob has worked full-time on his art to refine his techniques and cultivate his artistic voice. In this time, he has exhibited in 15 Outdoor Art Shows as well several gallery exhibitions including; Gallery 129 Ossington, Liss Gallery, The Lonsdale Gallery, and as part of ‘The Artist Project’ and ‘The Toronto International Art Fair’.
Rob’s work is always playful, mostly clever, slightly twisted, and has a “pocket-sized” political edge dealing with a range of issues including; the global environment, urban issues, personal empowerment and good ‘old fashioned’ manners.
Rob, as an artist/entertainer/activist/smarty-pants, is always looking for new ways to challenge and amuse! When asked “what is to come?” Rob will promptly inform you that he has his sights clearly set on ‘global art domination‘!
