Born in Glasgow in 1949, Robert Kelsey studied Painting at Glasgow School of Art from 1966 -1970 – a particularly fruitful time for the school when the painting department was headed by such luminaries as David Donaldson, Alexander Goudie and James Robertson – before going into teaching.

He has also served as an artist member on the councils of The Glasgow Art Club and Paisley Art Institute. An extensive traveller in the UK, Europe and the Caribbean, Robert exhibits regularly in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London, and has successfully sold his paintings at art fairs and exhibitions in New York, Miami, London, the Continent and Budapest. His work can also be found in a number of corporate collections in the UK, Europe and Asia. In 1998 he was awarded a diploma from Paisley Art Institute. He is currently President of the Glasgow Art Club.
