Mel McRobert is an artist of the 20th/21st Century. He has lived in the Portland, Oregon area all his life. But he travels a lot to get inspiration for his art. McRobert began to show an interest in painting at an early age. This interest has grown over the years. He first started painting in Mrs. Dodge’s Art Class in 1964. Since then he has produced several pieces of art, all of which are attractive. Throughout his life McRobert has always painted for the enjoyment of expressing what he saw through his painting. Art is his hobby and while painting he feels like the time is flying. He says that doing what he likes has made him to be the happiest man in the world.
