N. ROBERT WAGSTAFF is a naturalist painter. Born and raised in the Hawaiian Islands, created a special interest for Bob in Hawai'i's native flora and fauna. His formal art training was at the Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, California. The artist now resides on the island of Maui with his wife Winnie.
After a 30 year career in advertising/design Bob retired to pursue his dream of becoming a fine art painter. Painting in the medium of gouache, his love of nature has guided him towards producing paintings which reflect all of nature's beauty.
Collectors worldwide, private and corporate.
Contributions from some sales go to conservation agencies in Hawai'i that support environmental education of native flora and fauna. Some of these include: The Nature Conservancy of Hawai'i, Maui Nui Botanical Gardens.
