Robert O'Brien

Robert A. O’Brien is a self-styled artist who has experience in watercolor, photography and collage. Although his current work is primarily photographic in nature, it draws on his experience in the area of hand-painted photographic techniques. Robert has exhibited in a number of local New Jersey shows and sales and he has also exhibited his work at the Stephen Gang/Sai Gallery in Chelsea. He currently has selected pieces on display at the Le Reve Gallery in Chester, NJ. A number of his favorite pieces capture his love of the Adirondacks and his travels in the southwestern United States, particularly, Arizona and New Mexico. Robert was trained in the Neurosciences and he is currently a Professor at Rutgers University and teaches courses in Psychopharmacology and Pharmaceutical Concepts. Dr. O’Brien lives in Nutley and is continuously looking for new visions to incorporate into his art. He is an active member of the Board of Directors of Arts Unbound, an organization supporting artistic achievement among youth and adults living with mental, physical or developmental disabilities. He also derives inspiration for his art in his work with the St. Barnabas Hospice.
