| Robin
Is a New Zealand Artist now living in Redcliffs, Christchurch. Her
work is largely realism with the occasional abstract paintings, all
oils on stretched canvas. She specializes in landscapes and bird
life.
Her work reflects her love for this
beautiful country. Each painting depicts the many moods of the sky,
rivers, lakes and seashore, as the scenery moves and changes with
the mood of the day. Robin’s love of the country side has come
from the many different places she has lived in as a child. From her
roots in Invercargill to the more interesting places such as Somes
Island, and the Queen Chalet Sounds where her schooling was by
correspondence.
“Art and crafts were always in
our lives as both my father and daughter are artists.” For many
years Robin created and sold “original porcelain dolls” and “period
costume figurines”. This meant sculpture, mould making, wig
making, shoe making and dressmaking all in miniature.
Her hobbies have always involved
her love of the great outdoors, 4 by 4 off-road driving, sailing and
mountain biking. She never travels far without a camera to capture a
sunset or a cloud formation she can paint. |
