Robert G. Stevens (1926-2004) began his artistic career sketching girls from memory for lonely soldiers while stationed in the South Pacific during World War II. A Bay Area native, he returned home after the war to attend the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland where he studied under noted California scene painter, George Post.

After graduating from art school, Mr. Stevens applied his outstanding drawing skills as a scientific illustrator at Lawrence Laboratories, first working with Manhattan project veterans in Livermore, then with Nobel Prize winning scientists in Berkeley. Stevens continued to paint the changing California landscape in his spare time until 1984 when he retired and moved with his wife to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The Johnsons' Gallery of Fine Art and Leishman's of Santa Fe represent Stevens in New Mexico. DanielakArt exclusively represents Mr. Stevens in California.
