Robert Fenwick May, Jr. started scribbling at a young age. Words of encouragement from his father and an inspirational gift, a book of Frank Frazetta's artwork, from his late mother were all he needed to ignite a life-long passion for art.
Growing-up in Baltimore, Robert turned the tragedy of his mother's death into a positive experience by putting his modest inheritance toward the dream of a semester at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Unable to afford to continue at the Institute Robert spent most of his young adult years hunched over a drafting board honing his drawing skills. Later, his love for life and nature lead him to pursue a degree in Botany. All-the-while scribbling in the corners of notebooks during lectures; he earned his degree and became a high school math and science teacher. He continues to share his reverence for life and passion for nature with his students.
Fortunate to be teaching in Baltimore County, Robert spends whatever free time he gets at the Walters Art Gallery marveling the great masters. In his spare time he creates beautiful drawings like those you see in this collection of trees. These trees are a culmination of his imagination, love of nature, and study of botany. His sincere wish is that you will take pleasure in viewing them and he hopes that they will spark something in your imagination.
A true renaissance man, Robert was awarded a 2nd degree black belt by the Chinese Self-Defense Association, has studied classical music and plays bass guitar for the band INFRACTION, and has written two science fiction novels with a 3rd in the works.
Robert Fenwick May Jr joined Fine Art America on July 17th, 2012.
