Art Blog Preview: Robin Ann Walker

Robin Ann Walker is a professional fine artist living in Dallas, Texas.  You can view her colorful, energetic, always-changing art on her website at Art-Girls.com.  Robin works in acrylics, and often includes her photographic images in her work.  She also combines non-traditional materials and techniques to create her contemporary art. 

Robin's art blog at http://artgirls.blogspot.com/ tells the story of her professional life as an artist.  It's great fun to see the challenges she faces with a new project and to find out how she solves these problems.  She recently completed a commission which involved painting people, and complained that she'd never done that before.  When her client reminded her that they were just "shapes and colors," that took the pressure off. 

Some of my favorite pieces of Robin's are the paintings in her "Abstract" gallery at http://art-girls.com/Abstract/AbstractMenu.html.  Follow this link to view the step-by-step process by which Robin created an 8 ft. by 10 ft. abstract painting commissioned by the Baylor Hospital in Plano Texas:  http://art-girls.com/Abstract/Baylor.html.

There's plenty to see on Robin's website and to learn about her work on her blog, so take a look.
