Artist bio:
Bob Doster was born and grew up in Lancaster, South Carolina. Oldest of six children (himself and five younger sisters), he was born into a family of high achievers. Bob had his first exposure to art from his grandmother who was a Sunday afternoon painter. He was also able to explore his artistic talents in his father’s sculptural steel shop where his father let him play with a blow torch at the age of 8. When he was 12 he sold his first sculpture to a local bank president, and from then on he was hooked with the sculpture bug. After graduation from high school he married and had two children by the age of 19, and then he opened a grocery store. For the next five years he worked 16 hours a day seven days a week to make a success of the business. He then sold the store and went back to school where he earned his MFA from Clemson and a BFA from the University of South Carolina. Bob’s career spans 47 years as a working sculptor with artwork placed world wide. He has taught more than 150,000 students aged 4 to 80 as a visiting teaching artist with the SCAC helping students create sculptures for themselves or as a legacy gift for their schools in the two Carolinas and Illinois.
