Robert Monk

Professional art since 1965, NYC. I was a surrealist artist at this time. I would also draw portraits of people in chalk, on the sidewalks of Manhattan. I was approached by a Rock and Roll magazine publisher who commissioned me to paint portraits of the Stars of that era. A few years later, I was given a Nikon F camera and was asked to interview and photograph at Rock stars at show venues. I transplanted my self to Southern California where I continued to do photography and multi media arts. Painting, Sculpture, Jewelry, Glass, Tattoo's etc... I today find my self in full circle of my artistic roots. Painting again for me. I have assigned my self to expressionistic styled art. Primarily the images of figures and sea life, as seen through my eyes. I feel that our Ocean's are abused. If not managed properly, all our futures will be at stake. I live on a beach in Central America part time, where most of my "topic and inspiration" comes from. I have devoted some time to Ocean life management programs. Looking for sustainable solutions to rehabilitate our world Oceans.
