Robert or "Bobby" Ross works chiefly in graphite, creating topical, otherworldly, scenes. Ross's graphite technique often gives his pieces an airbrushed quality.

He has taught painting, drawing, and design at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Drake University, Carnegie Mellon University, Ohio University, and the Universities of Kentucky, Arizona, and Nevada-Reno.
