Robert Pillsbury
Robert Pillsbury grew up on the lakes and ponds of New Hampshire where his fascination with the watery landscape began. After receiving his fine arts degree at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, he moved to New York to pursue his career as an artist. Working as a graphic designer in the newspaper industry and eventually head of production for a publishing company for many years, he always maintained his continuing development and refinement of his fine art pursuits at the same time.

Moving to and commuting from the Jersey Shore, provided daily drawing sessions of the marshlands and waterways seen from the train. This coupled with years of sailing up and down the east coast focused a mindful study of his visual surroundings. In his words,” Allowing me to pleasure in the vast array of beauty and variety of texture, color, and light which abound in the world around us, ever changing every minute, every moment. The subtle colors of an afternoon sunset, the strong form and body of clouds moving on the wind in an Autumn sky, the soft textures in the sand on a morning beach.”

Robert’s dedication to not only his own art, but the artistic community as a whole, has resulted in his active membership and participation in various national and international arts organizations, including 6 yrs. as president of the Salmagundi Club of New York.

His artwork has been shown and exhibited in galleries and institutions both within the United States and internationally. He has received numerous awards and accolades throughout his career, including in publications such as Fine Art Connoisseur and American Art Collector.

He has worked with a multidiscipline of various mediums: watercolor, acrylic with oil glazes, colored pencil, graphite, and printmaking. The drawings and prints, which he has recently focused on, have a subtle power with their exquisite networks of many fine lines creating a mood that is both dramatic and full of movement. Additionally, in the past decade he has been working with encaustic waxes colored with pigments applied and tooled with low-heat instruments and brushes from a molten palette. He states, “Encaustic has existed for more than 2000 yrs. and today there is a strong resurgence of interest and activity in the medium. I enjoy the versatility of these wax techniques that incorporate such unusual luminosity, durability, and creative potential.” 




Volunteers are needed for publicity, labels, catalogue, receiving & hanging. We will not need volunteers for this. If one person would like to volunteer during receiving weekend that is certainly appreciated but not expected.
