Bob Ballard, Illustrator and Artist.

I was born in 1947. After a long and successful career as a Technical Illustrator and Author working on engineering contracts around the world.

When I retired it was an opportunity to become free to experiment and create in the world of a fine art painter.

My goals are twofold:

1. To enjoy the journey and create extraordinary art from ordinary subjects, and

2. To develop a personal style that has wide appeal and is instantly recognisable as my work.

I have always believed that if I could achieve these two goals I would never be short of a subject to paint or a patron to sell to.

Have a look at my selected work (it’s in three parts) in the menu above, your comments are welcome.
