\nAbout Robin Ann Meyer
\nI was a terrible child. I could never sit still \u2013 except when I was placed at my art table with the necessary supplies. I became completely transfixed with the bright colors and shapes that would unfold.\u00a0I think about my work constantly. Like a cloud passing through the sky, my paintings pass through my mind. There is a lot of trust involved in the way I create. If it feels right, I go with it.\u00a0Acceptance is big part of my process. In the abstract, the artist is left completely on their own. Decisons are internal. I know a painting is done by a feeling I can\u2019t entirely explain. I use enamel because of its liquidity. The drips and streaks act as an extension of myself in the moments I have no control.\u00a0My current work is all about the human condition. How does it feel to be passing through this life \u2013 confined as a consciousness to this particular form? What can I discover about this space? Where can we go with it? What are we really\/truly capable of at this point in our development?
