Bill to gain formal art instruction at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.Bob began his professional career as a commercial artist and illustrator and worked for many years for both advertising agencies and consumer products companies. He later went on to develop his own distinctive style of painting which led him to focus on Americana and European landscapes that found a strong market among publishers and giftware manufacturers.
