Born in Colorado in 1953, Robert Goldsberry started his art career at an early age. He took home a 3rd place in the first grade, all school Liberty Day Poster Contest at Liberty Grade School in Rocky Ford Colorado. From that point on he never stopped his passion for art. Drawing and painting became a second nature to him and his talent developed.
Being raised on the Colorado River Indian Reservation in Arizona, gave Robert a wide angle look at the outdoor world and cultures around him. Acknowledgeing Indian artists and crafters, as well as entering his own drawings at local fairs, gave Robert the influence in creativity he needed. After service in the U.S.Air Force, Robert ennrolled at the University of Oklahoma and sought out the art school. In this venue, he had access to exploring the world of art and art history, from old masters to comtemporary artists.
With a degree in painting and art in 1981, awards for merit in school exhibits, Robert has continued his love and exploration for the medium to this date. He now resides in Denver Colorado with his 9 year old son, Kyle, an beginning artist in his own right, and continues to paint professionally.

I have been painting for 25 years, primarily in oil on canvas. Because I believe that an artist should never remain static, I am intent on exploring the essence and process of visual expression with the hope to engage the viewer at the deepest level of awareness and emotion.
In that pursuit, I constantly seek new dirsctions in subject matter, techniques and style. Currently, I am working with realism, surrealism and expressionism. Sometimes I attempt to blend them in my ongoing search for a deeper relationship of the creative idea and its adaptation to the canvas. Any form of art in it's purest state has the power to leave a lasting impression on the mind and soul. be it a beautiful painting, a lovely sonnet, or a moving musical score, artistic expression has the ability to universally communicate beyond the 5 senses.
The painting "Joe's Barber Shop" won First Place in the category Still Life /Painting at the 2011 Regional Veteran's Art Competition in Denver Colorado. It was also selected entry into the 2011 National Veteran's Art Competition held in Fayetteville Arkansas, taking 2nd Place in the Still Life /Painting category.
1980 T.J. Mays Award of Merit, for the painting, "Running From The Rains" awarded at the 67th Annual Art Students Exhibition, Fred Jones Museum, University of Oklahoma.
