Robert St. Croix's career began in the early 1970's as a street artist in San Francisco. Quickly gaining a reputation for metal wall and table designs made of copper and brass sheet. As well notorious for pioneering water sculptures in copper and driftwood - many of which were kinetic, utilizing water pressure to move metal wheels, bearings and cups. In 1974, he opened an "Arts and Crafts" gallery at Bodega Bay in Northern California. He also began showing water and metal sculptures in San Francisco area craft galleries. In 1976, he moved to Lake Tahoe, Nevada and opened a sculpture studio and art gallery to have the freedom to create more complex metal sculptures, such as life sized figures, mobiles, and small figurative bronze castings.
Perfecting his craft, Robert moved to Hawaii in 1978 and enrolled in University of Hawaii to learn art foundry practices and procedures. There he began showing sculptures in better known galleries, such as Gallery Hawaii and Center Art Galleries. Moving back to the "Mainland" (Minden, Nevada) in 1983, Robert opened his own art bronze foundry. Within two years he moved his studio to Newcastle, California and La Porte, California. He began producing limited edition bronzes and exhibiting sculptures at Art Expo New York and Art Expo Los Angeles. His gallery's exposure expanded into several states. He also opened his own gallery in Sausalito, California.
His last move was in 1990 to West Palm Beach, Florida. There he opened his own studio and built an art bronze foundry. He established a reputation for building life size figurative bronzes. His first monumental bronze was completed in Michigan during 1996 (17 feet tall), and a second in 1997 at Key Largo, Florida (21 feet tall). He also opened his foundry to other artist for casting and restoration of art bronzes. In 1998, he began a series of life size limited edition bronzes, "Homage to the Masters", which three dimensionalizes and adds to selected paintings of contemporary masters. He has been pioneering new techniques and applications of automotive lacquers and classical patinas on bronze sculptures. The gallery showings have expanded into some of the nations finest art galleries. His commissioned works are now exhibited in collections in Europe, Asia, North America and Latin America.
