BOB MEROW​
Bob Merow is an acrylic painter living in Morgantown, WV. Most of Bob’s painting subjects are landscapes and seascapes.

Bob jokes that his specialties are dead trees and rocks. “Put a rock in the wrong place and nobody will notice. Put a nose in the wrong place and everybody will notice.”

Bob has a Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture from West Virginia University. The curriculum at WVU provided the opportunity to study art history, drawing, perspective, color, composition and other subjects related to painting.

After college Bob spent several years working for architecture and engineering companies and eventually joined WVU where he was a Campus Planner until he retired in 2015. He has worked on hundreds of architectural, planning and graphic design projects and designed and constructed residential housing over the past 15 years.
 
Bob paints on wood panels that he cuts out of 4’ X 8’ sheets of Masonite. Most of his paintings include custom wood framing that make each piece ready to hang. Bob says, “My goal as a painter is to make something from nothing that will make you smile.”
