HIV

Robert Raeburn has spent most of his life as an artist, working in all media.

For several years he has also been teaching art to persons with HIV through the Shanti Project. He enjoys displaying his students' artwork as well as his own. He says, "To lighten up my artwork and not strive for perfection, I make a rough sketch. When I start trying to make it perfect I speed up and that stops the struggle." He enjoys trying different styles. "It is a never ending search--one that I hope never ends."

Robert's artwork has been displayed at: San Francisco City Hall, Shanti, John Sims, and Ft. Miley.
