Robert Lewis is a contemporary American painter.
Before becoming a full time painter, Lewis had a long career in art as an illustrator, designer, and fine artist. His work is part of the permanent collection of the Academy Art Museum on the East Coast. Before returning to his native California and taking up plein air landscape oil painting he worked in watercolor, scratchboard, paper sculpture, and acrylics, exhibiting his imaginative works.
When painting en plein air Lewis paints in oil on canvas on location, finishing his paintings on site in a single sitting. His large-scale studio work is often based on his plein air work. He lives and works in Pacific Grove where he has a painting studio.
