Bob Ransley
Born in 1955, Bob Ransley is a native of
Troy, New York. Spending his early years on
a farm, he was no stranger to hard work.
That hard work ethic was reinforced as Bob
and his brothers took their expected places
in the family boat yard business on the
river.
Bob’s formal training includes study at the
Swain School of Design in New Bedford, Mass.
He also has a degree in Art Education from
the University of Mass. He insists however,
"I wasn’t born with this talent. I work hard
every day to be a better painter."
You can find the Ransley signature on just
about every subject matter. He has done
animals, still life, floral and is in great
demand as a portrait artist. He especially
loves painting old Turkish olive oil jugs.
Whether filled with flowers or set amongst
pears, vases and bowls, they have a great
attraction for the artist.
Most people think they get a glimpse of an
artist’s personality in a painting. Bob
admits, "The most important way for me to
learn about me is to paint. I feel what I
see. Success for me is getting that feeling
on canvas so the viewer can feel it too.
That makes me a better artist and somehow a
better person."
