Robert Burridge leads an exciting and colorful artistic career with an impressive resume of painting credits to his name. Los Angeles Times acclaimed Burridge as "one of California's top ten emerging artists," and the Philadelphia Watercolor Society awarded him their Crest Medal for achievement in the arts - previously won by Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe, and N.C. Wyeth.

Burridge paints every day in his country barn studio located on California's central coast along the beaches of San Luis Obispo county. His style explores and interprets "real life" in his own passionate, painterly voice. Burridge's artwork has been praised as "happy, intriguing and powerful." Art critics describe his work as vibrant, beautiful, masterly done and just a little tweaked. His use of bold, rich color and adventurous texture, while complex, is uplifting and 'Pop'. His favorite subjects feature "the Good Life," and includes tropical vistas, coastal landscapes, impressionistic still lifes, and luscious fruits & vegetables.

Burridge's paintings are sold in galleries nationwide and currently hang in corporate spaces, professional offices, public places, and private collections. His work has appeared on Starbucks Coffee mugs, Williams-Sonoma fine art prints, Pearl Vodka bottles, 5-foot tapestries, and 12 paintings were featured in the cult movie, "Dean Quixote."

About his style of painting, Bob says "Art should be an uplifting experience and a celebration of all that's wonderful about life and its quirkiness!"
