This month’s Narthex exhibit features works by Robynn Stewart. Her painting career resumed about 7 years ago, after a long career as a singer. The floodgates suddenly opened and so many ideas presented themselves that it was a challenge for her to single out one particular subject or niche! This resulted in her eclectic collections: “Feathers and Fur” (animal portraits), “People portraits,” “Planets and Stars” (inspired by the Hubble and Webb telescopes), “Earthly landscapes,” and the “Mayan Collection” (artifacts and ceremonial masks discovered in the Yucatan).
Robynn, who is affiliated with Arts Wayland, loves working with oils and intense colors, with focus on the eyes of the subjects, giving them a personality and a connection with the viewer. According to Robynn, her style could be called “Intuitive Realism.”
“This work has brought me a sense of peace and it is my hope that the viewers will experience the same,” said Robynn.
