Robyn Croad
Artist’s Statement
I love the beauty of nature & gain inspiration for my artwork from travelling in Australia & overseas.
To create light filled paintings is my biggest joy & if someone loves my creations enough to hang in their
home, then that is a bonus.Biography
Painting in Watercolour for over 20 years, my art pieces are mainly realistic, with more impressionistic landscapes. I love the challenge of experimenting with new mediums & have tutored for 7 years.
For the past few years, I have been creating Eco Dyed mixed media & some printmaking. A member of the Toowoomba Art Society & the Crow's Nest Art Group, my art hangs in private collections here & USA, New Zealand & Italy.
Influences
I love to paint Still Life - in art galleries I am always drawn to paintings of everyday objects.
When I am out walking, there is always a collection of roadside weeds that can be taken home & used in art works.
As the owner of a Garden Centre in another life, I love to incorporate plants & flowers from generous friends or use what I have in my own garden.Awards
I have received over 30 art awards, including an award in the prestigious Doyles Art Exhibition (Gold Coast).
Exhibitions
I regularly exhibit in group exhibitions & three years ago was delighted to be one of the feature artists for the Instudio Art Trail. I am involved this year's Instudio Art Trail.
