Beauty and Loss
I grew up at my father’s butcher shop and living on my grandfather & uncle’s dairy farm. I have always felt very passionate about local agriculture, its importance to American culture, and its survival for future generations. I draw and paint what I know, and what I think is important to our society. When I’m not at work as a graphic designer, drawing, painting, or taking photos, I enjoy taking ballet lessons and hanging out with my husband, family, and corgis.
I display the destruction of nature and agriculture and its importance to American culture. My art depicts both Mother Nature and the local agriculturalist, along with the difficulties both face competing with the corporate man. Destruction of nature is represented by the omission of the environment; farm and forest animals are rendered on a white abyss. Counter to the removal of naturally occurring art, the pieces focusing on agricultural skills and trades, specifically butchery, bring to light these disappearing artisans. This catalog of endangered Americana is my attempt to remind us that what we have may not always be if it is cast aside.

Bob’s interest in art was sparked in high school by Barb Steele of Alloway Herb Farm in Littlestown, and Linda Van Hart who now teaches at McDaniel College. Since graduation from Towson University, Bob has used his heightened sense of spatial relationships and design sense professionally but continues to make time for his personal creative endeavors.
Over the years, Bob has investigated collage, painting, photo-collage, and many other techniques, but lately figure drawing has intrigued him. Taking life drawing classes and using various media as a background, The Nudity Sessions exhibit (May 4-31, 2017) illustrates how the power of the human form never fails to captivate the imagination.
