Robert Whiteside (March 26, 1950 – October 30, 2006) was an American-born artist known for re-creations of Fabergé eggs for celebrities and dignitaries across the globe. His talents extended well beyond that of an artist; many considered him a modern Renaissance man. He was a musician, painter, chef, pilot, and a restaurant owner on his 68-acre (280,000 m2) bed and breakfast, the Veranda. Whiteside's works have been granted as Gifts of State from the Reagan Administration, which also held a collection.
