Robert's painting style allows the true character of his sitters to be revealed. His work has proved to be very popular. Recent commissions include the furry companions of jewellery designer and Vogue contributor Katie Hillier and LOVE editor and fashionista Katie Grand. In December 2011 Robert will be exhibiting at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in New York.
