Whiskey On The Rocks ("MA") Painting

Since retirement as a Creative Designer, Rob Koetter has had the opportunity to pursue his passion full time as an artist specifically in acrylic medium. Inspired at an early age while growing up in Central Illinois, Rob was mentored by a local artist, Lester Chase, and graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Visual Communications and Photography. The most rewarding and exciting employment during his career was working with the Chicago Sun-Times, ranked as one the top ten newspaper publications in the United States. Rob also worked freelance for the CBS “Early Edition” TV show by designing the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper props for their episodes. Throughout the years, Rob has exhibited his paintings at Illinois State University Union & Auditorium in Normal Illinois, About the House Art Gallery in Bloomington, Illinois, and Ivy Tech Community College in Sellersburg, Indiana in an instructor exhibit. Since moving to Florida in 2013, Rob has focused on his realistic paintings, often modeled after photography that he has taken in our local area. Rob’s creative niche involves paintings of alcoholic drinks infused with content for Mature Audiences Only.
