Some investments
grow in value.
Others grow
in meaning.
A portrait is a legacy that appreciates emotionally every year.
Once referred to as a “Society Portrait,” a fine oil portrait was a symbol of prominence and nobility. Today, bringing a portrait into being carries with it a much more profound and personal meaning.

An oil portrait
on a wall represents permanence,
continuity and
heritage in an age where almost every memory
lives on a phone.
A portrait is the perfect way to recognize those who have achieved a high level of excellence and/or esteem in our lives. It’s not an ego trip because it is an expression of one’s relationship with others.
Robert’s portraits of children eloquently capture this special time
“I don’t over think when I’m painting a portrait. I’m only ever asking one question when I paint: how can I make this individual appear at least, if not more kind and lovable than I found them? I’m going for depth over superficial appearances. As an artist, my goal to to speak light into the world.” rm

The Art of Portraiture
“When I encounter my subject I try to get a sense of how they move through space, their rhythm and energy, to learn what drives them. I become them in a way, so I can paint myself.” rm
“As a portrait artist, I not only paint the light as it falls upon my subjects but also the light emanating from within.“ rm
“The presentation of a portrait, is both a solemn and joyful occasion. I like to think of my portraits as the HOW of why a person is the way they are.” rm
