Robert Charon
Born in 1958, artist Robert Charon grew up in the metro Phoenix area of Arizona.
Robert began to cultivate his creative mind at a very early age. In fact, his first
private show was held at a local private library when he was only twelve years old.
In high school, Charon developed a love of watercolors, and continued to pursue
his education through art scholarships to colleges in both Arizona and Utah.
During a break in his undergraduate years, Robert spent two years in Taiwan where
he acquired an impassioned fondness of oriental tradition and art. Charon draws
from his experiences in Taiwan and the influence of eastern culture for inspiration
as an artist. For Robert, the splendor of nature and wonder of the world itself
leaves an impression that long outlasts any one artistic movement. Charon is
passionate about depicting the worth in brilliant subtleties of everyday life. He does
not rely on specific movements or periods in art history to drive his own unique
style, but does appreciate the fluidity of present day watercolorists.
