Jorge Bobo

I was born and raised in South Carolina and I have lived in several other states as well. I now live in Chicago, Illinois. I have worked for may years in the medical field, but I am now retired.

I have developed my artistic talent for many years and have had no formal training.

I have exhibited and sold my artwork at the Atlanta Decorative Art Center for Allied Art in Atlanta, Georgia. I also did commissioned artwork for interior decorators in Atlanta. I did menu designs for the Habersham Hotel in Atlanta and did the "Song of the Habersham" in calligraphy, which is presently displayed in the hotel lobby.

I illustrated the book "The Legend" by author David Livingston. I did tear sheets for the Gainesville Times newspaper in Gainesville, Georgia. The original artwork that I have completed for that project was purchased by the Christmas Studio in Helen, Georgia. I also exhibited my artwork at Harris Ltd. in that city.

Although I have exhibited my artwork, the majority of my sales come from representations by buyers who have purchased three or four pieces of my work.

I work in watercolor, pen and ink, and acrylics.
