Robert Duncan was born in Utah and began painting at age eleven. He spent summers as a boy on his grandparents’ Wyoming ranch where his grandmother gave him his first set of oil paints. It was there that he grew to love the country, the open spaces, and the rural life. He studied art at the University of Utah and has painted professionally for nearly thirty years. Robert and his wife, Linda, their youngest son, Cullen, and a lively assortment of farm animals live in the town of Midway, Utah.
