About Robert Updegrave
Paints On Fire was founded in 2022 out of a need for a personal creative outlet in my retirement. My work is inspired by the color and excitement I see in world around me. I am a colorist, painting with Acrylics. I attempt to create art which is exciting and interesting which elicits feeling in the viewer.
