Inspired by the Old Masters of painting, Robert Dale Williams studied classical drawing and painting techniques at the New York Academy of Art Graduate School of Figurative Art.

Following graduation from the Academy in 2004, he furthered his studies under Odd Nerdrum during three summer residencies in Norway. With a body of work depicting individuals suffering in a violent post-apocalyptic world, Williams participated in some of the earliest exhibitions of the Kitsch Movement, and his paintings were included in the published compilations “Kitsch: More Than Art” and “The Nerdrum School”.

A guest lecturer at the Susquehanna Art Museum and Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, Robert Dale Williams joined the Continuing Studies
faculty at the New York Academy of Art in 2022, drawing from his extensive experience as an instructor of drawing, painting, anatomy, and design courses at six art institutions.  Featured in collections worldwide, he has exhibited in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, France, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, and Norway.
