Rob’s painting career started with a solo exhibition in Richmond, London. He is a very successful and sought after artist, with many galleries eager to stock his work. He spent some time in the field of miniaturism, and exhibitions in London have been received with sell-out shows of these miniature paintings. These have earned recognition and special awards from London galleries, the Royal Miniature Society, the Hilliard Society of Miniaturists and the Florida Miniature Art Society, with his work being purchased by the Hilliard Society for their permanent collection.

Rob now concentrates on painting life size and is fascinated by light and shade, and the imperfections and timelessness of his studies. He is inspired and attracted to light and reflections, with an ambitious attention to tone and detail. “I aim for my work to possess an appeal which is timeless, with the use of blending the traditional old master’s techniques along with a contemporary setting of items and a harmony of colour, shadow and composition. I hope this gives my paintings an individuality, merging both contemporary and traditional styles.”
