We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Robert Page. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Robert below.

Robert, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

Oh, I was a small boy in my first school many years ago. It was something I knew from an early age, once I could a crayon in my hand and make marks on something there was no turning back. there has never been anything else.

Robert, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

out of my twenty plus years experiences as a painter/artist there has been those times when nothing seems. to work, And you have to keep trying until myself and the client(s) is happy, at the end of the day it has my name on it and whatever piece I send out will represent me to future clients. So it has to be something I am happy with first, ideas will always change from the initial idea, let everyone involved know that one part or all parts are not working as planned and needs to be approached in a different way. I provide large scale murals to small personal portraits of loved ones.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

its something you can’t turn off, (at least for me) the smallest of moments can spark something that brings an image to my mind the will start a series of events pictures in my head that will turn an insignificant thing into a whole chain of reaction into a wonderful painting. for example I worked in the restaurant in the kitchen, I was cutting beef for steaks, and looking at the marbling of the meat got me thinking of the shapes I saw swirling in those colors, that lead me to start painting meat. Not just meat on a plate, but meat into the shapes of beloved cartoon characters.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

my ideals of art has always been to draw/paint as realistically as I possibly can; about a year ago I started learning teaching myself how to animate, so I’ve had to unlearn some of those ideals to get the movement and a likeness of a character to move in a way that isn’t realistic. it has been a fun challenge to undo some of those strict rules I put upon myself.
