Welcome… I’m Rob Youngblood and this site is a glimpse at my world and my work. I’ll start with a little about myself. I’m a curious mind and creative soul in so many ways. An Artist, an Actor, a Writer, a Photographer, an Explorer, an Emmy Award Winning TV Host, and last but certainly not least, a Storyteller at heart.

After a successful career in TV and film, and many years in LA (I still spend time there). I “sort of” retired to both a small town on the Emerald Coast of Florida and “back home again” to a small town in the cornfields of Indiana. I was looking for a new challenge and a new way to stir my creative juices. Then, after some time of self reflection and some (kinda-sorta) deep thought, my art and sculpture path was born… and is truthfully, is still finding its way.

For my coastal work, I take inspiration from places I love… Hawaii, Bali, the South Pacific, Key West, Malibu, Southern California (my first coastal home), and of course the gorgeous Emerald Coast. I also take inspiration from a number of other things I love/enjoy/find fascinating… vintage tropical vibes, great music, Ernest Hemingway, deep sea fishing, the beach, surfing, interior design, plants, flowers, the forest, nature… the list is pretty much endless.

For my Americana pieces, I look for inspiration in the farm fields of the Midwest (my home and childhood in Indiana), my love of old barns, farms, cornfields, and my Hoosier roots, and the rural foundation that is the heart of America. My wood art just feels organic to me. Original. unique, truly my own, and deeply expressive. When it’s right… it’s right.

Most of my work is modern, bold, and a unique use of mixed woods and colors. It is meticulously designed and always hand-crafted. Cut, worked, shaped, and finished by yours truly at either my Gulf Coast studio in Florida or in my shop in rural Indiana. I love large, dynamic, instantly recognizable, statement pieces that capture your attention at a glance. My work has a spirited, sophisticated, and luxurious feel… mixed with a little bit of a vintage cool and classic style.

Have a look around and please reach out with any questions or for details on purchasing work or ordering custom pieces. Thanks for your time, I am grateful that you are here. Enjoy! ~Rob
