Robert Senske, Jr.,whose panoramic seascapes of ports of call ("San Francisco" and "Long Beach") put him on par with the finest maritime artists on the west coast, was born and raised in Long Beach and educated at UC Berkeley (class of '87).

Indeed, so spectacular is Senske's ability to accurately portray water and seacraft that in 1998 the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA) displayed his paintings along side those of, among others, englishman John Stobart ("A Brush with the Sea", Newport Harbor Nautical Museum), who is considered by many to be the greatest living maritime artist in the world.

Currently, Senske publishes annually more original paintings of the Long Beach area than any other artist. He has worked with virtually every civic entity and raised thousands for charities in helping to promote this beautiful waterfront city to the rest of the world. His paintings have been published on everything from the cover of the Pacific Bell Yellow Pages (circ. 400,000+) to the score cards of Long Beach's five public golf courses to the terminal walls of newly renovated Long Beach Airport.

His clients include the Mayor's Office and Office of the City Prosecutor, City of Long Beach, Hallmark Gift Stores, Barnes & Noble Booksellers, W.H. Smith Gift Stores, Pacific Bell Corporation, American Golf, the Port of Long Beach, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, the Long Beach Water Department, the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Museum of Latin American Art (Dr. Robert Gumbiner's private collection) and the Long Beach Museum of Art. He is, as Press Telegram columnist Tim Grobaty puts it, "...all but the official artist of Long Beach."
