Robert Thomas Mullen

Artist and teacher Robert Thomas Mullen has a multifaceted experience in art that includes photography and metalsmithing, but it is creating jewelry that has been the backbone of his career, which has been influenced by a love of nature and an introduction to art in his childhood.

“My work is inspired by my need for collecting and love of nature. I don’t sketch in the traditional sense; I spread out my materials on a table and base each piece on interactions I see. Then, I work on creating the settings to hold each piece together,” says Mullen, a native of southern Illinois, who now lives in the Dutchtown area of St. Louis.

Mullen uses a variety of natural materials in his work, including hair, flowers, bone and petrified wood, in addition to flower petals, butterfly wings and leaves.
