About the Artist 
|
Robin Longerbeam was born and raised in New York. Although primarily self-taught, she attended the Art Student's League in Manhattan. In addition, she has attended an eclectic mix of art classes, exploring oil painting, watercolors, jewelry making and welding. In her current work, influences from nature as well as manmade objects come together with the emphasis on the interactions of the past, present & future. From her viewpoint, everything seems to be getting more complicated. We should return to nature and an organic life. Her painting is a reflection of this dynamic, using simple shapes and colors to create a rich and complex vision of the world. Her works are suffused with layers, textures, and subtle gradations of hue and form. Her hope is that the viewer will be pulled into a calmer, more rational and gentler world. Robin resides on the Oregon coast with her son and two cats.
