Happy Painting

Rob was born March 31, 1963 in Montreal, Quebec. Canada. Growing up he lived out the winters in Montreal and enjoyed summers in Horth Hero, Vermont. Rob now lives in Ferndale, WA. With wife Paula and two children. One word best describes abstract artist Rob Hooper. Intense. Barely compressed energy explodes from his vibrant paintings in kaleidoscope of colours and emotions, every drop and brush stroke a raw emotion brought to life.Entirely self-taught Rob developed his own style. "I was obsessed with exploring different techniques and following the inner voices that carried me along my creative path. I believe it's my life's work to paint and create art. I have an emotional need to paint and express myself. It calms me and exhilarates me at the same time." Music is essential to Rob's abstract expressionism; it fills his studio as he paints. "Colours are the most important elements in my work. They're like the notes in a piece of music." Each painting is multi-layered and a chorus of colour. by Ingrid C.
