Robert Wellings is a painter residing in Mount Desert, Maine. Robert's paintings and drawings of the landscape evoke feelings of mystery and solitude, creating a sense of place both timeless and familiar. From 2009 to 2012 he studied classical drawing at The Academy of Realist Art in Boston and at Cambridge Street Studios in Philadelphia. Pursuing his love of landscape painting, Robert sought a contemporary practitioner and studied with Deborah Paris from 2012-2015. His work is collected throughout the United States and internationally.
