My name is Robert H. Wissink, I was born in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada in 1969.
My first experiences as an artist took place when I was in my teen years and took a drafting course in High School. I quickly discovered that drafting was not my cup of tea and took those drafting skills and started with some of my own designs. It was at this point I realized that I wanted to pursue my career in the Visual Arts field.
My influences were local artists all living in St. Thomas at the time. One was and still is a friend of mine. Her name is Laura Wormke, and she is currently the Curator of the St. Thomas Art Centre and Gallery.
I believe that being an artist is something that one is born to do and not necessarily learned in school. I went on with my work and was using practical experience, trial and error, self-learning as my teachers. It was here that I further expanded on my knowledge in the Op Art Field.
In my later teens, I was told by different people that my style of artwork wasn’t something people would be interested in and that my art was not good enough. Unfortunately. I, at the time foolishly believed these people and stopped my drawing all together. However, thirty some odd years later, I have started my own business, Magoo’s Geo-Metric Arts, and once again started drawing and have been going strong ever since.
I have tens of thousands of hours done in my field and plan on continuing with this line of work for a long time to come. I work primarily in pencil on sketch paper ranging in size from 5 x 7 to 14 x 17 and I currently work from my home studio.
I am currently represented by George Linicolmn and his team of professionals and am currently on exhibit in George Linicolmn’s Gallery online and can be found at Rob Wissink | LinicomnRichardsonFineArt.com (square.site) I am also on exhibit only (no sales) at the Muslim Museum (located in the Muslim Mosque) here in London, Ontario, Canada. I have also just purchased a membership with Influx Gallery on line.
