If you have an inquiry about pricing or comments about the my paintings you may email me at the above address.  I am generally in the studio five days a week starting around 8 until around 5 or 6. I read my emails twice a day as the rest of the time my hands are in a bucket of paint. But I will return an email as soon as I can.

 
 

JOHN ROBERTSON IS A SELF-TAUGHT artist who has metamorphosed from
 a colorful impressionist to social/political and conceptual portraits which have a razor
sharp messages embedded in the seemingly benign, colorful medium. In his work for
 Community of Family Farmers Alliance, Real Cheap Sports, Earth Services, and
CROP he addressed issues of hunger in the land of plenty and substandard health
conditions endured by farmers. In his work for the Palisades Presbyterian Church,
and Salt The Op-Ed Page of the Catholic Church he has confronted abortion, the
death penalty, charity, vanity and greed.

JOHN ROBERTSON earned a BA degree in English Literature from
California State University, Northridge. He was a senior executive with a large
retail cooperation for over 23 years. In 1991 John left the world of business in
 order to pursue his interest in art on a full time basis. His work has been used
in various movie and television shows and commercials and he has exhibited
 in numerous one-man art shows.
