ABOUT THE ARTIST
Artist Robert McCauley’s paintings and other artworks are rooted in the tradition of 19th century American Romanticism and its awe of nature. He addresses a variety of themes, including colliding cultures, environmental ethics, humankind’s impact on nature, and the use of nature in art. His subjects are usually animals, especially bears.
McCauley was born and raised in Mount Vernon, Northwestern Washington. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Western Washington University in Bellingham (Northwestern Washington), and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Washington State University in Pullman, Eastern Washington, in 1972. He served as a professor of art at Rockford College in Illinois for many years. Upon his retirement, he returned to the Skagit Valley in Northwestern Washington, where he now lives and works.
