Rob Compton spent a year at the Kansas City Art Institute before dropping out to pursue a degree in English, a subject he teaches, along with Art History on a part time basis while working as an artist. He is primarily a self-taught painter who lives and works in College Hill, a historic neighborhood of Wichita, KS.
In recent years, Rob has had numerous solo and group shows regionally and has also shown in juried competitions around the country where he has earned several special recognitions.
