Exhibition Announcement!
I'm happy to announce that "Teddy Ready for Love" has been accepted at the February 2026 "Hearts for the Arts" show at the Artisans & Agency gallery in Santa Cruz, CA.
It's wonderful to see creative visible mending being honored as an art form. I am so grateful to be included with amazing artists at a venue that is a pillar of the Santa Cruz art community.
And I know Teddy is excited for their big day, too!
Vintage bear had absorbed a lot of love!
I was honored to add my artistic vision.
Now he's a work of art ready for more love...
As a child walking in the redwood forests and swimming in the Pacific Ocean in Santa Cruz, CA, I learned that the environment was much, much more powerful than I was.
Take your eyes off the waves for a moment, and you join the wipeout club with a sand rash that lasts a week!
I saw that thriving on this planet required intense attention to the nuances of my environment. Using those small details, I could not only survive my encounters with powerful environmental forces, but learn from them and enjoy their incredible beauty and presence.
My art practice isn’t complete if I’m not working with the environment instead of against it.
"Robin's work is so intricate and detailed. I used it as an example when I taught a crochet class because of her technical mastery and imaginative use of materials."
