Don’t miss the last session in this popular series with the Sonoran Arts League. Robin Ray will wrap us up for the summer sharing her journey and creative story. We will also be announcing the artists for next season!
From Robin:
Striking color, simple shapes and repetitive patterns create energy in my artwork. Intuitive and whimsical in nature, my works should leave you smiling. My love for water-based media is insurmountable and so is my love for clay. I have a Masters in Ceramics, and have adapted my painting style to the surface of my sculptures. Animals are a common theme in my work, often with landscapes painted on them. I also use a raku firing method to let the fire complete my surface design. I am drawn to universal themes that would be common to people in all cultures.
The Amazing Artist Series is the 2nd Monday of the month at 1pm. Reserve your seat today BELOW, only $10. All proceeds benefit the Sonoran Arts League and Holland Community Center art programs.
