Robert Patrick (not the Terminator Robert Patrick, nor the Kennedy’s Children Robert Patrick, but you knew that) lives in southern California with his long time companion of 30 years (this year!) and their two rescue dogs, Billy (dachshund) and Joey (rat terrier.) Robert’s been in the art business (retail, wholesale & marketing) for over 30 years and obsesses over the lack of art criticism for the middle class, fancy-nancy writers, gay culture, gardening, aesthetics (and the lack thereof,) poetry, art history, contemporary art, museums, artists of all stripes, creativity and the state of the union. He was interviewed by Aletta de Wal of Artist Career Training in the winter of 2012 and you can listen to it here, should you be so inclined.
