Artist s Biography
Bob is a graduate of Paier School of Art and has been a professional artist for thirty-five years.
A prominent national award winning artist and illustrator, his paintings hang in both corporate and private collections throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. In November 2009, the New Britain Museum of American Art acquired for their permanent collection a piece from his Turtle-esque series, Catfish with Turtle. Bob s work will be featured in the soon to be published 100 Artists of New England by Schiffer Publishing. He is represented in numerous galleries and teaches and lectures throughout New England. He has illustrated several children s books and magazine editorials.
Bob is an elected member of the National Society of Painters in Casein and Acrylic, the Salmagundi Club, the Lyme Art Association, the Connecticut Watercolor Society, the Connecticut Plein Air Painters Society, the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts and he is a signature member of the New England Watercolor Society.
Bob s passion for art is matched by a natural talent to paint a wide variety of subjects, highlighted by expressive coastal scenes, intimate woodland pictorials and seasonal treks through the countryside. He has been inspired by the many pleasurable memories of his boyhood; which was spent joyfully fishing, and catching turtles and frogs.
Bob works in his studio in Avon, CT and wherever the beauty of nature catches his eye. His paintings may be viewed at Left Bank Gallery, Essex, CT; Arnould Gallery, Marblehead, MA; Art 3 Gallery, Manchester, NH; Images Art Gallery, Briarcliff Manor, NY; Elaine Beckwith Gallery, Jamaica, VT and on his website robertnoreika.com/
