Profile of Artist
Robert Lewis Booth
I am a Staffordshire Artist, born in 1940 in the potteries town of Fenton Stoke-on-Trent England. I have always been interested in drawing and painting from an early age,
I produced my first oil painting when I was thirteen years of age and at fourteen went to study art at Portland House County Technical School of Art in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent.
It was there at the age of sixteen I entered my first national exhibition winning a prize and was awarded a certificate from the Royal Society of Arts.
Furthering my education in the arts field I studied at Stoke College of Art and Burslem School of Art learning more about fine art, sculpture, lithography and pottery etc:- where I achieved four distinctions in " Art and Design”
I spent most of my working career as a Designer Draughtsman and also produced industrial Technical Illustrations for working catalogues etc.
After taking early retirement most of my available time is now taken up in painting,
