Mixed Media

"Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who know that without the darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers."

- May Sarton


Robin Rezende's mixed media work combines acrylics, charcoal, watercolor, specialty papers and occasionally beeswax or other substances to exuberant effect. Flower studies have a commanding influence on her work.  Robin has said, "It is well-documented that flowers are a positive emotion inducer.  In fact, flowers and people seem to enjoy a reciprocal love affair. We humans plant flowers, grow them, and paint them; and in return flowers make us smile. As Claude Monet so eloquently put it, 'I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers'."
