A little about our featured artist
From a retired industrial designer to an artist just waiting to be born at age 62, Rob Grimminck was born in Chatham Ontario in 1956. He is the 14th child in a family of 15. When he was 8 years old the family moved onto a farm north of London.
In 1989, he married Teresa McLaughlin. Together they raised 5 sons (4 of whom are now married) and they have 9 grandchildren.
Rob went to Fanshawe College for industrial design and worked for various companies. He was also a big advocate for adult education and published a few books to help adults to read.
After he retired, Rob began his hobby of drawing & watercoloring. Using his and his wife’s direct ancestors homes as subjects he taught himself to paint with watercolours. A year later, Teresa encouraged him to try acrylics and the rest, as they say, is history.
