Artist Statement:

Each of Robert's paintings is infused with an organic simplicity
that attempts to cut through the complications and chaos of
modern life. As a representation of the artist's world, each piece
carefully positions plant and animal life in vibrant settings inspired
by the merging of the Urban and the Rural. Although many negative
effects usually accompany urban encroachment on the natural
landscape, Robert suggests that a compromise can be reached if
only we open ourselves up to a collective consciousness that advocates
a healthy relationship with our natural environment. By viewing each painting
as a statement of nature's resilience and supremacy we may temporarily
connect with its healing abilities and tap in to a confluence of art and
environment that seeks to narrow the gap between people and place.
