History
A native of Maxton, NC, Robert Doares and his wife Kay lived in Salisbury, NC. After graduating from high school in 1929, Robert moved to New York City to begin his art career. While working in a department store, he asked if he could cover a blank wall with a mural. That opportunity helped launch his career. He enrolled in the Grand Central School of Illustration to study under Harvey Dunn, the "dean" of American illustrators and quickly found ways to develop his talent through drawing covers and illustrations for major publications such as Doubleday's and Harper's. As an artist for the Medical Department of the Armed Forces, he drew illustrations for training materials and other assignments for the Army Hospital. After the war, he became a freelance illustrator, drawing covers for Outdoor Life, Redbook, Doubleday, and Harper's. He also drew the illustrations for Phillip W. Keller's book, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, which is still in print. In 1952, Bob had a life-changing experience with the Lord. In response, his art became his offering of worship and praise to the Lord. He began to paint the life of Christ in a series titled, "Immanuel, God with Us: The Life of Christ in Art." This 54 piece series represents 30 years of his life.
