Bob Coonts earned his Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in graphic design and painting from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. He served on the affiliate art faculty from 1971 to 2006. In 1994, after 31 years as the owner of a successful graphic design business, Bob began his fine art career. Internationally known, he has exhibited his art throughout the United States and is represented by many regional galleries. Bob’s painting style reflects his Western heritage, yet is uniquely his own. He strives for an image that is unusual and that brings pleasure in the doing as well as in the viewing. His work is often stylized, often whimsical, always colorful and strong in design and composition. His subject matter includes animals, landscapes, people, history and mythology. His color palette is reminiscent of the Fauvist movement and often combines realism and abstraction in one piece. To see his work, please go to http://www.bobcoonts.com
