Biography

Artist Robert S Brown was born in Queens NY and was raised on Long Island where he now resides in the town of Lynbrook. He began drawing and painting as early as kindergarten in the late 1950's. While always excelling in art during his schooling it became clear to Robert that he desired to pursue a career in art. Upon graduation from high school in 1971 Robert enrolled at The Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY. Since he long admired many American illustrators of the century such as Norman Rockwell, Howard Pyle, and NC Wyeth, it was clear to Robert that he too wanted to become a professional illustrator.

Robert began creating book covers in publishing while specifically concentrating on the paperback marketplace. He's worked for companies such as Bantam Books, Scholastic Publications, Avon Books, Simon & Schuster, Dell Books, and many others. His work can still be found in bookstores and online. Robert has also taught at many universities and still continues to teach all age groups privately as well. Although he can draw and paint in all mediums he currently specializes in acrylics and concentrating on realism.

Robert has had many local library exhibits and several gallery exhibits in the New York vicinity as well as several other states. He was also featured in Artist Magazine for his adept skills with his current acrylic series of still life. " I am quite passionate about acrylic paint and its diversity as well as my ability to control light and shadow which is the basis for any good painting. No other medium affords me the control of acrylic when working opaquely or transparently which in fact represents the true power of acrylics."
