Rob Kaz

Rob Kaz is an American artist known for his original oil paintings that reflect a "whimsical animated style." Based in Orlando, Florida, he did not attend art school, but studied criminal justice at the University of Central Florida and graduated in 2001. He was hired by an animation studio when he could not find a job in criminal justice. After three jobs in boutique studios, he was hired by video game company Electronic Arts. In 2008 he left EA and began to sell his own fine art pieces. He had his first show in October 2008.

Kaz is licensed to paint Disney and Star Wars based paintings. Kaz is recognized for his original character named Beauregard "Beau" who is a tiny green frog. His collection of art called “Friends Along the Way” features Beau the frog who meets many other original characters through his adventures.
