Creekwood Studios is a fine art and art travel business. As a recently retired professor of art, Bob continues to produce and show original art. For nearly 20 years, he and his wife have arranged and led small, upscale, art and culture trips abroad.

Content,  context and  craft, the {“three C’s”} developed over decades of teaching is the technique Bob uses to help others understand and appreciate art and architecture. Bob makes both classical and contemporary work accessible to all. His vast knowledge of art processes  is a unique approach to appreciating and understanding both art and culture

As a skilled teacher, lecturer, scholar and storyteller, Bob will enable you to advance whether you are a beginner or an  advanced artist. His instruction will  push you to higher levels of accomplishment. On past trips we have created paintings from ochres gathered from the ancient quarries of Roussillion. We have strolled the streets of Florence where the rivalries between the Medici and the Strozzi families shaped the Renaissance. We have shared an  afternoon glass of wine before a  classical concert at St. Nicolas Cathedral in Prague, and joined  in a local party for dancing  after a home cooked meal in our villa in Tuscany. These  are but a few of the experiences Creekwood Studios has created with new experiences waiting to be made.
