Robin Robertson

My abstract paintings are an exploration of texture, colour and images inspired by nature.

My first art making memories are from when I was five years old and involve my father. I took the sawdust from his table saw, mixed it with flour and water and created a series of duck sculptures.

Later my paternal grandma, an accomplished painter, would inspire me with her art and her being.

My first adult foray into producing art was functional pottery in the 1970-80’s.

Painting is an experiential journey that I began in my mid 50’s.

Like the ducks that are my first remembered art pieces, birds and the protection of natural habitats are underlying themes in my work.

I am passionate about public art. I have managed several projects in Penticton, BC and Calgary, Alberta and volunteer at as a public art advisor.
