In 1981, Robert Bertram received an Associate of Arts degree from Lincoln Land
Community College and a BA from Murray State in 1984. Robert worked
at several advertising and promotion agencies before trying to make a living
as a freelance artist. Finally in 2000 he experienced a rebirth
artistically with two wonderful mentors, Don Kueker and Robert K Abbett.
His work has been on the covers and in the pages of many of the most
popular sporting magazines. An avid upland hunter and fly
fisherman, Robert spends a lot of time finding inspiration for his art from his
own experiences. He also works closely with a number of conservation
groups. Robert and Linda, his wife,
live in Manchester, Missouri with their two children. Robert shares his
studio with two Gordon Setters and a Boykin Spaniel. |
