"Untitled" graphite illustration~ I've received many excellent suggestions from you all about what she might be so intent on looking at, but I find that I can't bring myself to fill in the blank space. Feeling her intensity and wondering is just too interesting right now!

Washington D.C. Temple, 14x14 inch, collage, This temple is quite special to me as it was the one I went to all my life and was also married in! The photos I have have never done it's striking architecture or lush grounds justice in my mind, so I created my own without any hint of man's influence in the setting. I remember traveling from my home in Maine, to the temple in April and enjoying the grounds and Cherry blossoms awhile before going back to snow and ice! A soul refresher in many ways....

About Me

My Photo
Robin
Who am I? My family comes to mind first! I am very happily married to my best friend, Wade, and am the proud Mom of three teenage sons. I grew up in the wonderfully expansive Allen clan of the Oxford Hills region of Maine and attended the University of Southern Maine's Fine Arts Program. We've lived all over and are currently enjoying the beauty of Nebraska! I love reading, drawing, painting, gardening and so much more! I've always been an Artist/ Illustrator , strictly free-lance and sometimes unpaid, but very willing! You can find my portraits on walls all over the U.S., T-shirt designs on teenagers at various campsites, and my paintings, posters, illustrations and cards in many homes, libraries and churches. My boys are older now and perching on the edge of the nest so it's my time to be more prolific! Enjoy!
