He paints from life and photographs, exhibiting on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. 

Bob paintings are held in the private collections of locals and international visitors alike. In 2015, Bob was chosen as supporting artist of the year for MIFQ. He finds his art builds up his self-esteem, improves his mental health, and creates opportunities for involvement in the community.

I live on the Sunshine Coast near the ocean, and often notice people peacefully looking at the sea. I was inspired to create this seascape of the sea alone, with no sky, and a pandana to give a little extra colour on the wet, sandy shore. I think that the aqua colour of the sea and changing colours of the sand brings movement to my artwork.
