Robert Deschenes is a new Side Arts Certified Visual Artist from St-Hubert-de-Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec, Canada.

Robert Deschenes was born on July 20, 1959, in Ville Dégelis, Temiscouata County, a great place to observe both aquatic and terrestrial fauna.

Robert did not originally intend to pursue a career as a painter. It was while attending a collective animal art exhibition in Québec that he was deeply impressed by the animal-themed artwork. Sometime later and while discussing animal art at a party with his best friend, he suddenly realized (a strong intuition) that if he admired artists who focused their artwork on animals so much, it was because he wanted to be like them. So, Robert made the decision that evening to start his journey in animal art. He started by learning to draw realistically. Subsequently, he took watercolor lessons. In recent years, the observation of mammals and birds has become a passion for him. In his pictorial artwork, Robert conveys his love for the wildlife of North America to the observer.
