Rob Kaz, American

Rob Kaz was born and raised in New Jersey and then received his BS in Criminal Justice from theUniversity of Central Florida, in Orlando.

Rather than working for the government in Criminal Justice he began working for a number of small animation studios in Central Florida. Due to the closure of Disney's Florida-based animation studios, Rob found himself working alongside some very talented artists whose influenced him greatly. During that time, he also worked in film production, in particular character creation and environments, which greatly influenced his painting style.

He also worked as a character artist for Electronic Arts (EA Sports Tiburon), one of the leading sports entertainment brands in the World, with top-selling videograme francises. While at EA, he created human likenesses in games such as Madden NFL football and NCAA Football.

He then took the leap and began his fine art career...and today Rob's work is a mirror of his background in animation. Rob is one of only a few artists granted the unique opportunity and license to paint Disney films (he is a Legacy artist with Disney Fine Art).
