Rob Smoking - Rob Red
I'm passionate about art, from the creating of it, to the materials used by the artist. My passion does not end there, it contunes with the framing of the artwork as well. After many years of research and practice I would like to pass on this knowledge to others that have the same enthusiasm.
I was born in South Africa but currently live in Portugal, the land of sunshine, beaches and wine.
