 Robert Noelke began taking painting classes early in life and at the age of twelve began working in steel.  Through the years he has experimented in both two and three dimensional artwork.  Robert has received numerous awards, grants and scholarships.  After graduating in 2002 from the University of Florida with a bachelors degree in fine art, Noelke went on to work for two years at foundry casting bronze, aluminum, and resin.  During this time, his interest in direct metal sculpting grew and he began taking blacksmithing classes.  In 2004, Robert moved to Jacksonville to work with renowned sculptor and Jacksonville native, David Ponsler.  Since then, he has had the opportunity to work on many exciting projects and has learned both traditional and contemporary metal working techniques.  Robert has displayed his work in numerous galleries throughout the United States in both public and private venues.
