ABOUT ME
My paintings are inspired by nature and display my personal interpretations through the vibrant use of color. Spattered paint along with layers of glazes and washes are used to create key visual elements. My artistic motivation is to transfer calm and inner peace by using simplicity in shape and color combinations.

This past year Childrens Hospital in Boston and also Newton-Wellesley Hospital purchased an assortment of my works for their permanent collections. In 2007 the Cancer Center at Mass General Hospital featured one of my paintings in their calendar, an honor received by only 12 of the participating artists in the 'Illuminations' program.

I teach watercolor workshops in the Continuing Education department at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Ma. and offer lessons at my studio in Lynn, Ma. I am available to do demonstrations of my watercolor techniques upon request.

On a more personal note, I find I am the most comfortable when I am surrounded by my artist friends.

I love trees. I love the mountains. I love painting landscapes.. I guess I'll paint just about anything depending on my mood. I believe on a certain level art is a form of individualized therapy.

TURN ON'S
A successful painting, or photograph, or sculpture, one that takes you to that place in your mind.

flow
honesty

TURN OFF'S
negativity
lack of humility

HOBBIES
The internet and surfing the web, cooking good food, eating good food. I also enjoy swimming and road biking and anything outdoors.

OK, I will let you know when I hear back from CP..Off to the VSC today, might be in a hole, black or rainbow we'll see.  I think there is a need for classes in my area, for a structure for people to have a creative experience.  I hope to hear this week about my enrollment.

Robin,

Have you heard of the "Craftproducers" Festivals, or ever shown in any of their venues?

I'm glad you got to urge to paint but, you tried to do an ugly self portrait???? Ok, please explain...

Well, I did not sell it... I agreed to let BCA exhibit it through Aug. and "...be sold only at the listed price..."  I just got a letter and $70 check from AA Inc. "out of the blue".  So I have absolutely no idea how AA Inc. got my painting from BCA.  Perhaps they filched it?  Maybe I drove 4 hours, pulled the painting down, and brought it to the AA Inc. auction, and then forgot it.  (Jeezum crow I gotta research turpentine alternatives!)

Self portrait... some self reflection is good.  Are those blue tears?  So I am glad you're out of your phunk. About half my regular Butt head friends seem to be in some state of malcontent...  Could it be too much screen radiation?

The Grapes are sour in Rome anyway.  Have fun showing off with your birch trees.

Hey I sold a painting!  Some clouds have a silver lining, and other silver linings have dark holes!  The piece is supposed to be hanging in a corporate office building for $950, and it was apparently sold at another auction for $100, run by another group in Burlington.  I know I am forgetful, but luckily, I have a signed contract with the Sales $ and insurance.  I will let you know what comes of that!

HI Robin, Did you have a good solo show?  It isn't JUST sales, either--don't be  discouraged ("do as I say, not as I do"!). ANyway, you must keep painting...be in touch. Jane

Hi Robin, I am glad that you like my art.  Yours is really beautiful and honestly I don't know which I like best....great colors.  Mine are watercolors and a couple of acrylics...I am new to the acrylics.  What medium are you working with?  Great Work, can't wait to have some more time to really ponder some of your pieces.  Nature is most amazing is it not?!
