Artist Bio:

Bob grew up in a small town in northern Vermont. When he was sixteen, he landed his first full-time job working for a local homebuilding company, dubbed by its giddy crew (a wild cast of characters including future artists, poets, musicians, and architects) The Merry Vegetable Construction Company. One of his fellow MVs suggested he check out an art class he was attending at the state college. He did.

After college, a 30-year migration: NYC working at Pearl Paint Art Supply, doing art, and wandering the city doing odd jobs; art, poetry, and carpentry in Burlington, VT; parenthood, art, carpentry, and graduate school in Syracuse, NY; art and teaching art in Winchester, VA then Montgomery County, MD then Harpers Ferry, WV; art, teaching, and carpentry in Durham, NC; and now, since 2019, art and conciergeing a short-term rental in Underhill, VT.  

Artist Statement:

“The subject for me, a place of resonance like a jazz theme, is never more than a foundation, a beginning. Improvisational, each action is a response to all the other actions and relationships; within the composition, unexpected things happen, unplanned relationships: the space between the sky and the earth opens up; the space between me and the subject, with its rhythms, music, and breath, resonates.”
