ABOUT ROBERT CALLAHAN

​

ROBERT GREW UP IN NEW ENGLAND OUTSIDE OF BOSTON. EARLY ON, SURROUNDED BY WOODS AND PONDS,  HE GAINED AN APPRECIATION FOR NATURE. SUMMERS SPENT CAMPING ON THE COAST OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE WITH TRIPS TO CAPE COD, HE LEARNED OF THE UNIQUE BEAUTY EACH REGION OFFERED.  WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL, HE STUDIED WITH FREDERICK WILDER OF WOODSTOCK, VT. A GREAT WATERCOLORIST, FREDERICK TAUGHT HIM THAT CAPTURING THE SPIRIT OF NATURE IN ART WAS SOMETHING TRULY WONDERFUL. THE MINIATURE WATERCOLORS HIS FAMILY RECEIVED EACH YEAR AS CHRISTMAS CARDS WOULD INSPIRE ROBERT FOR YEARS TO COME. FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO TRAVEL TO ASIA AND EUROPE ON VACATIONS AND THEN SPENDING HIS JUNIOR YEAR OF COLLEGE IN AUSTRIA, ROBERT GOT TO SEE FIRST HAND GREAT WORKS OF ART FROM MANY PERIODS AND CULTURES.

AFTER GRADUATING COLLEGE WITH A BA IN ART/ EDUCATION, ROBERT NEVER STRAYED TOO FAR FROM THE CREATIVE PROCESS SPENDING TIME AS A MINIATURE CRAFTSMAN, AN ARCHITECTURAL ASSISTANT, RETAIL MERCHANDISING MANAGER AND MOST RECENTLY GALLERY MANAGER.

CURRENTLY ROBERT RESIDES ON THE LOWER CAPE, WHERE HE PURSUES HIS FINE ART FULL TIME.
