Robert Bracketti is a self-taught sculptor, painter and mixed-media artist.
He has worked extensively in bronze and with stainless steel and has a foundry background, which includes a 2 1/2-year apprenticeship under the auspices of well- known San Francisco Bay area sculptor Al Farrow.
Characteristic of his bronze works is a hands-on approach to every aspect through completion, from pouring of bronze to patination and basing of works.
Bracketti’s current focus remains a grueling 6-day-a-week schedule. He is as comfortable working from a foundry setting as from his working-warehouse painting studio/gallery showroom located in the Palm Springs area of California.
