Holly Rackham is an artist programme manager at Washington Green and has been managing Robert Oxley since he first came on board. She has witnessed Robert’s art career go from strength to strength. “I would describe my relationship with Robert as a partnership. I’ve been involved in his career from the very beginning so he will often use me as a sounding board for new ideas and concepts. I help him navigate through projects, new collection launches and gallery appearances. I take care of all the logistics so he can focus on what he does best – creating stunning artwork. “When Robert submitted his work it immediately caught my attention. There is so much wildlife art out there but Robert takes natural history painting in a new direction by giving his work a psychedelic feel, and his art is unlike anything else I’ve seen. “As his publisher we’re not the only ones enamoured by Robert and his talent - galleries and clients alike can’t seem to get enough of him. Since joining us, he has had the chance to exhibit his work in galleries nationwide, which in turn has helped him build a great, loyal client base. He’s now one of our most sought after artists. “Since becoming a published artist, Robert has had the time to refine his style and techniques, but one thing that remains unchanged is his enthusiasm for his subject matter, and this is what makes him really stand out. He is just as passionate about wildlife as he is about his craft. Whilst his work has changed over the years, Robert has kept hold of the trademark style that makes his paintings instantly recognisable. “He creates artwork that is consistent but still fresh, and this is key to having a sucessful publishing career.”
