About Robert Coombs

  • Biography

    From Salt Lake City, Utah, Robert Coombs is a painter of female figures whose time-period is illusive in that they wear simple clothing that features the subject rather than the era in which it was worn. His interest in art began as a youngster, and his future as an artist was helped with his receipt of a scholarship to Utah State where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 2000.

    Impressionist Edwin Austin Abbey is an inspiration as is the painting generally of the late 19th-century American impressionists. His wife and four-year-old daughter sometimes serve as models for paintings by Robert Coombs.
