Spring at the Beach

My family is full of dog lovers. We have seven dogs in our extended family alone, and we're always surrounded by furry friends. One afternoon, I was sitting at the table before dinner when I felt a paw on my lap. Then a fuzzy chin. Then another paw. And then, the table shook as a large, scruffy black dog jumped up on me.
The dog's name is Tarot, and he's not exactly small. As I laughed, I thought of the words of Rudyard Kipling: "You give your heart to a dog, to tear” as we had recently lost our wee dog.
Tarot has certainly torn his way into my heart. He's a naughty, cheeky dog, but he's also the sweetest, most loving creature. And now, he seems to enjoy bombing my paintings.

Robyn’s colour-filled landscape and still life paintings are inspired by a thoughtful collision between the natural environment and human mediation.
With the Australian landscape in mind, she attests to the world at large through paint, presenting her findings energetically and fluidly on the canvas.
Her process depends on spontaneous action and reply, merging vigorous brushstrokes and mark-making, working in a deliberate yet expressive manner.
Her evocative artwork can be found in collections across Australia, New Zealand, UK and USA.
