I have tried many things in my working years: steel worker, sweeper sales, campground owner, auto salvage yard operator, owner of an air compressor sales and service company, and owner of a miscellaneous metals center. I retired and sold everything. A year into retirement I volunteered to help with a project at church and found myself agreeing to take on the church maintenance, which lasted for four years. I have always had a more than passing interest in the arts. Over the years Ive worked with wood, copper, iron, steel, and in my spare time I painted, mostly outdoor scenes with acrylics. Then I discovered glass etching. In my early years, the everyday work of providing for and raising a family didnt leave a lot of time for serious commitment to my artworks, but since my second retirement I have been able to fl y. Ive etched sixteen windows for St. Anthony Catholic Church, Brooksville, FL; ten windows for The Florida Medical Center, Springhill, FL; six doors for St. Thomas Catholic Church, Homosassa, FL. I have works in restaurants, attorneys offi ces and many homes including that of Architect Hal Lenox. My artworks can be viewed on my web site in completed custom projects and gallery at, www.artworksbyrobertgsmith.com
