Bob Haxton

Bob Haxton is an artist, home designer and building contractor in Ashland Oregon. He studied art and design in college and then began designing and building high end homes in Venice beach California, Santa Barbara and then Ashland Oregon. For many years Bob in partnership with his wife Linda who is a real estate broker began building and selling homes with good success and loved the creative and artistic process of every project. With the extensive background in home design, Bob began abstract painting not only to expand his individual expression beyond drawing architectural plans but with the intention to enhance a viewer's personal connection to their space. Using techniques to layer paints, inks and washes, he builds dynamic layers of color and texture in a minimalist style. Often focused around a central meditative form, bold accents stand against fog and earth tones and crisp lines exist among freeform strokes.

Bob studied art, design and philosophy at Whittier College a liberal arts college in Los Angeles county.
He is also a member of AIBD, American Institute of Building Designers. As a home designer he has been able to use his creative skills and appreciation of art in architecture. Bob studied the Art of Placement in a program at the University of San Francisco in the early 1990's which he gained appreciation for the ancient practices of Feng Shui. The integration of architecture, art and interior spaces is something he has always had a passion for.

BH was selected to show in The National Juried Art Exhibition at The Delaplaine Art Center in Frederick, Maryland just outside Washington DC. Summer 2023.
