About Robert K McKeller
Painter and teacher, born in Gravesend, Kent, where he attended the Technical School for Boys, 1957–62. Emigrated to New Zealand, 1964, returning to England on the death of his father in 1966. Did a foundation course at Medway College of Design, 1969–70, then a degree course at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, 1971–3. Gerald Norden and John Ward were among his teachers.
