Robert has spent most of his life enjoying the great outdoors, whether skiing and living in Whistler, or hiking and biking the North Shore Mountains. Often venturing to warm places to spend time in the ocean snorkeling amongst the beautiful creatures our planet offers us. His artistic inspirations come mainly from the wildlife and natural surroundings of British Columbia.

In his studio he maintains a strong focus on utilizing reclaimed wood and other recycled materials to create his West Coast works, combining abstract expressionism and the more playful elements of folk art.
