Born in 1964, Robert graduated from Sunderland University in 1998 with a Diploma in Fine Art. He is currently living and working in Northumberland. Robert’s work sells successfully in galleries throughout England and Scotland. His paintings are in private collections throughout the United Kingdom as well as in Australia and New Zealand.

Never afraid to use colour, his work explores both composition and expression, yet always maintains his painterly approach.

"I describe my work as ‘Painting Nature’, as a direct response to my immediate surroundings; exploring colour, composition and expression yet maintaining the very traditions of British painting. Making sketches as well as my own visual notes, I paint intuitively and expressively with bold sweeping brushstrokes that sum up whole passages of the landscape before me. Painting on location and in the studio, I often rework paintings intuitively to produce a completed work."
