Paintings by K Robinson PDF Print E-mail

The Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation and the Edmonds Arts Commission are pleased to present oil bar paintings by K Robinson from November 1 through December 14, 2011 at the Frances Anderson Center.

In the Display Case exhibit “Color of Light” the artist demonstrates a progressive study of how to express an idea using different formats and media. Robinson states, “I was inspired to find a way to show these elusive effects of light that changed with the seasons, weather, and time of day.  The medium of oil pastels has the color intensity of oil paint but also allows for interesting strokes, overlays, and weaving of color.”
 “Beach Walk”, displayed in the EAF Museum gallery, includes representative pieces from an ongoing series of oil bar paintings inspired by walks along the shore in Virginia and North Carolina. The artist says that the techniques possible with oil bar “express well the scintillating energy … felt at the edge of the ocean.”

K Robinson grew up in Virginia, graduating from the College of William and Mary with a BA in Fine Arts. Adding a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, she practiced architecture for many years in Washington, DC. She reconnected with painting in the 1990’s in the golden hills of California’s Bay Area and chose to work in plein air oil painting and botanical watercolors, painting with the Glover Group, painters perpetuating the legacy of the Society of Six with artist and teacher Pam Glover.

With relocation to Seattle in 2003, the artist continued her study and painting at Gage Academy mentored by Mitch Albala, Margaret Davidson and Tom Hoffmann. In 2008 she became a member of 49th Street Studio in Ballard where, with the influence of years of sailing and living on the water, she continues to draw inspiration from the constantly changing coastlines, luminous skies and endless waterways of the Pacific Northwest.

The Edmonds Arts Festival Museum and the Edmonds Arts Commission Display Case are located in the Frances Anderson Center, Main Entrance - 700 Main Street, Edmonds. Gallery Hours: Mon – Fri 9 to 9, Sat – 10 to 3. For information call 425.771.0228 or 771.1984.

County Campus sculpture exhibit features Northwest artists PDF Print E-mail

Artworks representing a variety of styles from seven Puget Sound artists are being installed now as part of a temporary sculpture exhibition at the Snohomish County Plaza, 3000 Rockefeller, Everett.

“Increasing access to public art is a way of enhancing quality of life,” said County Executive Aaron Reardon. “Utilizing space on the County Campus is a great way to show our support for the arts and to better promote our campus as a community gathering place.”

The sculpture exhibition will include “The Dancing Bears” by James Madison, Jim Shields’ “The Ant,” Lance Carleton’s “Seeds of Change,” “3,600 Flags” by Aaron Haba, “Elwha Tears” by Al Adams, “George and his Curious Courthouse Adventure” by Debbi Rhodes and James Lapp’s “Adam and Eve.”

“The Snohomish County Arts Commission works to connect citizens with opportunities to explore and celebrate the diverse arts of Snohomish County,” said Rebecca Chawgo, chair of the Snohomish County Arts Commission. “This new exhibition brings such opportunities directly to our community.”

This exhibit is part of the county’s approved art plan for 2011, which includes the arts commission’s recommendations on how to use arts and culture to enrich the local environment, encourage regeneration and enhance public spaces. The current art plan was approved by the County Council last October.
The free exhibit is open to the public and will be on display through 2011.
