Hear an interview with Rob on the Delmarva Almanac at 11am on Saturday December 5, on WSDL 90.7fm or when it repeats at 3:30pm on WSCL 89.5fm. Like many artists, as a young person Denton Rob Brownlee-Tomasso was advised to go to school to be trained for his day job and keep his fine art as a side interest. So he studied graphic design at Glassboro State College, now called Rowan University, in southern New Jersey. After many years working for agencies and freelancing he is now putting his primary work focus on large dramatic paintings on unusually shaped canvases. He treats his subject matter to a graphic sensibility with black outlines and a high contrast sense of color with many layers and uncommon ingredients.
