A native Pennsylvanian, Robert now lives in Fort Myers Florida. For many years, he has been known for his hand painted acrylic one-of-a-kind canvas floor paintings- known as Floorcloths/Floor Paintings. One day he decided to digitally print his whimsical geometric designs from his paintings onto 100% linen fabric. A new line of women’s clothing was born when the highly acclaimed HGTV television show featured his unique studio, creations and gardens. To make the fabric for his clothing- First, the canvas is painted. Then it is photographed and scanned into a printer. The roll of fabric is printed with jet fabric inks and heat set. The fabric is washed and preshrunk, then the unique clothing is sewn and are machine washable. Added was a line of hand silkscreened black and white clothing featuring bugs and other images aptly named: “AntsOnYourPants.com” !
In his new studio at the Fort Myers Alliance for the Arts’s Union Art Studios-
Robert is loving creating his painting, clothing, new furniture & funky mixed media lamps with hand painted lampshades and painted tables!
