Surrounding Robert in the studio are acrylic paints, mixed-media materials and large Masonite wood pieces, the main ingredients in his 3D/raised-relief architectural artworks. 

Though his former art studio in Maryland looked out onto his evergreen tree-lined backyard, often frequented by deer, Robert, at least in his mind, was still in New York, painstakingly painting the dozens of miniature skyscraper window frames, arches, friezes, water towers, and other finely detailed architectural nuggets.

Since moving to San Diego in late 2021, Robert has expanded his style into abstract, seascapes and other natural landscapes.
