Article
Robert Norman Ross (October 29, 1942 – July 4, 1995) was an American painter and art instructor who created and hosted The Joy of Painting, an instructional television program that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS in the United States and CBC in Canada.
Born in Daytona Beach, Florida, Ross joined the United States Air Force in 1961, rising to the rank of master sergeant. During his time at the military, he developed a passion for oil painting. He studied the art from Bill Alexander's show The Magic of Oil Painting, and eventually his income from painting outgrew his military salary. Retiring from the Air Force in 1981, he was discovered by Annette Kowalski, who had attended one of his sessions while he was working as a tutor. She and her husband helped Ross pool together money to set up a new company: Bob Ross Inc.
