Robert Chapman began his lifelong career as an artist as the age of 12. Through a series of what Chapman calls “miracles” (though not in a religious sense) of one opportunity after another, he now owns his own successful commercial fine art business.

Despite spending most of his time completing commercial landscapes, he still finds time to work on his personal work.
