| Your Personal Biography |
Robert Joyner was born in Hampton, Virginia. Robert's childhood was typical of any boy growing up in the pre-Nintendo era. His days were filled with collecting baseball cards, jumping ramps on his rusted-out huffy and playing sandlot football with his older brother.
After graduating high school, Robert was engaged in several entrepreneurial ventures, commercial fishing and ballroom dancing. Yes, imagine practicing the 'cha-cha' on the deck of a 100 foot scallop boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean; talk about the good ole' days.
Robert moved to South Walton, Florida in 1996 and helped start a bicycle shop until 2001 when, feeling tired and stressed-out, decided to take a break and reflect on his life. Robert naturally began sketching to fill the idle time and his thirty-minute sessions quickly turned into all day art bonanzas.
When asked about his art and why he paints, he simply states 'I feel I have taken life too serious for too long. The simplest rule in life is to enjoy it, have fun. If the viewer has a sense of effortlessness and playfulness while viewing my art, then I feel I've done a good job.'
