Art of Robert Rogalski

Robert is a fantasy artist, designer, sculptor, and former illustrator who was born and raised in a one-room log cabin deep in the dark woods of wild Kentucky, where he learned to read by firelight and wrote on a wooden tablet with a piece of coal. Ummm, wait… nope, that’s wrong… that was Abraham Lincoln not Robert.  

Actually, Robert grew up near Rochester, in the lush countryside of Walworth, NY, where his imagination flourished, and his abilities as an artist started to be honed. After years of academic struggles, due to his dyslexia, he graduated high school and won a full scholarship to study special effects/industrial design in Pittsburgh, PA. Traveling up and down the east and west coasts of the United States, he has worked in theater—designing and building sets and props. He has fabricated and performed with puppets, sculpted large displays for businesses and home owners, worked in concept design for gaming companies, and illustrated a children’s book. 
Over the years, Robert has also had the chance to teach children at several after-school and summer art programs, something he is very proud of.  

For the past few years, Robert has been working on his own original stories in a vast world inhabited by robots and bizarre whimsical creatures.
