About Me


My name is Rob Mackintosh, a fine artist in London, Ontario , Canada. I am also a recreational pilot (non current), and I enjoy music, either listening to or playing (guitar). From age 16 to about 10 years ago, I have always played (part time) in bands. I think most musicians are artists and vice versa. From 1974 to now, I have been running my own graphic design company. After graduation from art school, I set goals of 1.) having my own graphic business, and 2.) then start a full time career of painting. I am now starting to promote my paintings and myself as a painter.I have a few more of my paintings posted in my blog (see above) or check out my website...
