About Robert Carrerio
As a Fine Art Major graduate of Louisiana State University, Robert Carreiro was also a competitive gymnast and went on to become a two-time All American Collegiate National Gold Medalist (1967 and 1968) in gymnastics.
His career in the field of Gymnastics continued to evolve when he came to Los Angeles and opened the Carreiro Circus Arts and Gymnastics studio where for the past 25 years Carreiro classes have attracted people from all walks of life including many celebrities who just wanted to enjoy themselves while shaping up. Bette Midler got in shape for "The Rose" and "Down and Out in Beverly Hills" at Carrier’s. Gina Davis, Drew Barymore, Roy Scheider, Pam Dauber, Jody Foster, Barry Bostwick, Bianca Jagger, Diane Von Furstenberg, Jon Voight, Armand Assante, Brad Davis, John Leguizamo and Jeff Goldblum are just a partial list of celebrities who discovered Carreiro's Circus Arts and Gymnastics for staying in shape.
While running this studio and bringing up a family in Thousand Oaks Robert has also been sculpting circus and gymnastics figures in Bronze as another modality of expressing his love of movement and physical expression. In his spare time Carreiro has also created a whole line of jewelry that are miniature sculptures. Carreiro has worked as a storyboard artist for Hanna Barbera. Robert has also been commissioned to create jewelry for films. In addition, Carreiro was the Boys' Team Coach at World Stars Training Center in Camarillo, California, where he trained a number of young gymnasts who have gone on to National Competitions in the Class 3, 2 and 1 categories. Bob trained the Boys Team for National Competition in May 2000 in Austin, Texas. His son, Victor, was one of the members of that Team.
Robert has recently retired from teaching and is exploring life as a full time artist. Carreiro now has a gallery in his home and had his first show as a professional artist with the Thousand Oaks Civic Center Arts Festival in August 2005. In June 2006 Robert won first place in the Conejo Valley Art Walk and was written up in the Ventura Star.
