Rob Glenesk is a self taught artist who has explored several mediums of expression, including: wood carving, rock sculpting, pencils, oils, acrylic and watercolors. A prolific "artist" by the age of three, his parents had a difficult time keeping enough paper in the house.

While pursuing a degree in Education, Rob worked summers in the Yukon and North West Territories. Here he became fascinated with indigenous cultures and their connection to the earth. Following university he became a recreation director on a First Nations Community in Northern Alberta. This provided the opportunity to learn much about plants and animals, as well as the traditional crafts such as: leather working, snowshoe and birch bark canoe construction from native elders. Rob loves adventure and being outside. His boots, canoe, ski's and horses have covered a lot of western Canada. His favorite place to paint is in his self-made tipi . All this inspired his nickname "Running Shoe", which has been shortened to "Shoe". This symbol now accompanies his signature on every image.

After teaching children for twenty two years, Rob became a full time artist in 1994. His creative desire and interest in ancient and indigenous cultures has led him to discover an aerial perspective that is valued by art collectors for its uniqueness and message content. He has won three major awards in national art competitions.

Through his paintings Rob has developed fascinating seminars. He incorporates his skills as a teacher to offer presentations to professional and public groups focusing on bringing powerful ancient concepts into present day life.

"There are many beautiful and powerful ancient teachings that if understood and used collectively would move this planet and everything on it in a very, very positive direction."
(R. Glenesk)
