Rod
Salter |
 Rod Salter was born in Florida in 1962. He became interested in art at a young age. He drew comic strips for his grandparents and was the youngest participant (nine years of age) in a cartoon class offered by V.T. Hamlin, the creator of Alley Oop.
During his sophomore year at Bob Jones University, where he majored in fine art, Rod attended Robert Bateman’s show at Greenville Art Museum. At this show Rod realized his true love for painting and decided to pursue this as a career. Rod began a study of painting under Robert Bateman that would inspire many of his further works.
Rod was married to his wife Carol in 1988 and in 1989 was able to pursue art full time. Rod has participated in various shows across the United States. Rod’s philosophy of painting is simple - “A need to create.” Rod enjoys researching his subjects, creating the proper compositions, defining the light source and producing a pleasing object for others to enjoy. He hopes that his work draws the viewer into the painting. |
