                Always interested in art, he earned his BFA degree at Wittenburg University, Springfield, O. in 1954.  Most of Bob's
                early work was of wildlife art, a natural result of his interest in and spending a great deal of time in the out-of-doors.

                    In 1983 he was named Ohio's Ducks Unlimited artist of the year, then doing work for both other states and national
                Ducks Unlimited.  He was chosen to do the national poster for the 55th World's Championship Duck Calling Contest in
                Stuttgart, Arkansas.

                    He has shown his work at such national shows as the "grandfather" of waterfowl shows at the annual Easton
                Waterfowl Festival in Easton, Maryland; the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in Charleston, S.C.; the Ward
                Foundation Annual Artists and Carvers Exhibition in Salisbury, Md. and Michigan Wildlife Habitat Foundation show in
                Southfield, Mich.However, since 1985 Bob has branched out to many other subjects.  For example, he recently
                completed a poster sponsored by the FAA and the Dept. of Agriculture for use in all airports across the country and
                some other lands to aid in reducing the serious problem of airplane and bird collisions.  He also has just completed a
                large painting of the Rockwell Trout Club's lodge as they celebrated their 100th Anniversary. Most of his work now is
                commission pieces.....folks tell him what they want and he paints it for them.

                    Bob has immensely enjoyed doing both paintings and drawings of the homes, boats, planes and businesses of his
                customers for the past 10 years.  Real estate agents have him do a small painting of each house they sell for
                presentation to their customers.
