Robert Edward Bullock is a Brooklyn-based artist working primarily in watercolor, egg tempera, oil, and drawing media.
A 1988 BFA graduate of Temple University's Tyler School of Art, he continues to develop a unique representational style that allows imagination and chance to assume their appropriate roles, while finding individual expression through artistic discipline, practice, and a conscientious study of materials and techniques.

His work has been published by Running Press of Philadelphia, Print Magazine, and Gnosis Magazine.

He is engaged to Tracy Michele Walsch, also of Brooklyn, and they are currently planning their wedding for 2013.
