Our Artists:

Robert Stack's interest in art began when he was a child growing up in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. There he was encouraged to develop his talents by area artists and in the art program at the local elementary school. Primarily a watercolorist, Robert captures realistic equestrian, architectural, and natural images from his surroundings. He used horses initially as models, going to local farms and horseshows to sketch them. Robert's paintings usually come into his mind as shape, color, compositions or emotion. The subject matter will vary. He lets it all fall together randomly and then directs it in to a finished whole. Robert has also done etched glass design, illustration and commissioned work. His work has been in many invitational, juried, and group shows and can be found in gallery, private, and corporate collections throughout the U.S. and abroad.
