When asked the question:
"Robert"
 "… Why are you doing what you are doing?..."
"Curiosity"
"… I am curious of just about … everything ..."

Robert’s “ Body of Work” extends over a long time period and
reflects the technical,and spiritual growth of a lifetime.
His work has been transformed from
Literalism to Realism to Abstract to Expressionism to Mysticism to Integralism.

The underlying impulse remains alive:  thoughts, emotions, and insights “rise up”  within  as visual forms in the 2,3  and multi dimensions
 and are reflected in images, patterns , and
 sequences of light and radiating love.

Fundamental Insight:
“ … Creative Works are often, but not always, spontaneous. The process includes, extended periods of doing and thinking of  “nothing”. Where the production of a work  that is an imitation of some notion, idea, or distraction often  ends  in mediocrity. 
Art is “doing” things and waiting: waiting for grace to enter and  begin the process of
 transforming into paint, sound, form, words., an  inner clean aesthetic…”
