Robert Tower

I was born in Oak Park Illinois and grew up on the west side of Chicago. My father had a great love for art, music, and literature. As any child would, I spent time watching him paint, listening to the music he enjoyed and gaining a love of books. He would paint on nearly any material at hand including slate chalkboard that had been discarded by my siblings and myself. As a child I loved to draw and make clay sculptures in school. Life got in the way as I grew up and I found that art got put on a back burner. While my interest was sidelined later I would discover that the experiences I was accumulating would eventually all lend to my views on art, music, and literature plus formulate a life philosphy. The experiences would include exposure to 35 years of marriage, years of scuba diving, flying, skiing, religion, military service including a war, exposure to many cultures and people, two children, grandchildren, personal trials and several years of study under noted oil painter Michael Gerry. Now with art at the surface for me, the past several years have brought me to the point of being here with you and wishing to share my endeavor with you the viewer. All art is a part of the creator trying to link with the viewer. I hope that you will enjoy my work and I invite your comment and input. In return I will continue to pursue every avenue available to me to continue to grow and hopefully provide you with work you would like to share your enviornment with.
