Bob Treaster studied art at Cal State and the University of California, Davis with Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Arneson, Roy DeForest and David Gilhooly. He owned and operated " This Is Not Art", a gallery in Mendocino from 1979 to 1990. He is a practicing artist for over 35 years. Living on the Mendocino Coast, he creates three-dimensional collages that reflect on the dimensional collages that reflect on the sublime nature of human existence.
