About Me

My photo
Robert Kirk
M.Sc. (Math Ed), Open University (BA) , I learned to paint at Walsall and Stafford Schools of Art. My current painterly interest is wildlife. I work from plein air drawings and my own photographs. I try to give equal weight to the animal’s environment as well as it’s behaviour. I studied for three years at the Walsall and Stafford Schools of Art at a time when art students spent at least two days and one evening in the life class. The rigorous discipline of close observation and drawing developed in the life class was one of the benefits which has lasted. My creative output mirrors the things I care about, draws on my experiences, and generally tries to interpret what the eye likes. For me art also embraces a tradition of sound craftsmanship–I'm driven by a desire to make well crafted artefacts that will give lasting pleasure. I later took an interest in mathematics and was awarded a Masters Degree by Loughborough University
