As an interior designer for many years, my involvement with fabric and color were foremost in my work.


“I have enjoyed making art for more than 20 years.  For me it is the process of making art that is so exciting.  It is the creative process of combining color, shape and spatial relationships that is the essence of my work.  I have always been passionate about using color and design.  My love of watercolor, the medium I use, has allowed me to create art which has a certain freedom, fluidity and design.

Born and raised in Lebanon and after teaching for few years French and art I came to New York in the late 60’s with my husband.

In addition to being a published author and composer (Theme Song, 1984 International Games for the Disabled), Robert T. Bloom is a published Photographic Artist concentrating on scenic Long Island landscapes and seascapes. 

“Life, color images, along with negative and positive space. These are the things that inspire me.

My passion for photography stems back to my childhood years…seeing myself taking pictures with a black box Brownie camera which, you could say began my interest in picture-taking.

Visual Artist-Painter

I am One Fortunate Artist, living the life for which I was created.

Since childhood I have been creating and exploring some sort of art-related visual project.  Being a creative person, my life as an artist assured that there was a safe harbor deep inside.  Art has always been a loving, joyous, nurturing, grounding and healing part of me.  I grew into adulthood knowing that I had a special gift, which has guiding me to make favorable life choices that honored my authentic self.

A graduate of St. Martin’s School of Art (London) I spent my of my time at the Victoria and Albert Museums’ textile department studying centuries of rich embroideries and wall hangings.

 

“As an artist, I am always observing the world around me.  Whether floral, landscape, animal, or figure, abstract or realistic, my images always go back to nature.  I am first and foremost a printmaker, although I work in other mediums, too. 

“I have no formal art education other than the courses I took in high school, but I have been a photographer, sketcher and doodler all of my life.
