Born in Cleveland Ohio, Bob Peck began his art career at an early age as an admirer of graffiti art that he saw scattered around his neighborhood. He began to paint on his own and had his pseudonym “tagged” all over town, instilling in him an ability to network and socialize using these talents society itself deemed as “illegal art”. His abstract expressionism pieces can now be seen in galleries across the metropolitan Cleveland area in place of his once tagged name.
