Robert’s  natural ability for drawing and painting became evident at a young age leading him to major  in art  during his
early college years and later earning a Bachelor's Degree in Biblical Studies.     As a commercial artist,  he has spent
more than 35 years using his talents in  various artistic enterprises.     For more than a decade he  has been sought
after nationally as a landscape  mural painter  having a  repertoire of   extraordinary  large scale  works on display
throughout the country  at  private and public natural history museums.     In recent years Robert has turned his focus to
fine art painting, continuing on with his artistic interpretation of God's majestic creation.   
Robert and his wife Diane reside in Carson City, Nevada.

Robert Bucknell was born in Steamboat Springs, Colorado,  later moving
with his family to California.     Growing up in Sacramento,  his parents
raised him with an enthusiasm for exploring some of the greatest
wilderness areas in the country including the Colorado Rockies, the  
Wind River Range in Wyoming, and the Sierra Nevada.
   He gains much
of his artistic inspiration  from his continued  love  for backpacking in the
Sierra  high country.
