The artist

Valda Robison

"I have always been fascinated by the contrasts in the world around me – light and shadow, and form and texture. But most of all, I marvel at the way sunlight plays on ordinary objects and transforms them to a reflection of the Creator. I strive to capture that Divine nature in my art."

"I enjoy working in several media, each one is satisfying to work with and has its own characteristics that are appealing. Watercolor and colored pencil are full of the energy of color. The texture that is achieved with pen and ink is striking. The delicate smoothness that can be achieved with graphite pencil is very appealing."

"God has truly blessed me through art over the years I have been painting and teaching."


In 1998 Valda Robison began to fulfill her long-held desire to draw and paint, and spent the next several years studying drawing and watercolor painting. By 2004 she was selling her artwork. In 2003 she joined the Greater Kansas City Art Association, and in 2004 entered her first juried show, winning an Award of Merit. Her work has been routinely accepted in area juried art shows and has won several awards. Valda currently teaches a watercolor class at the Shawnee Civic Center.

 

I am blessed by the support and encouragement of my family and
friends, and am excited about what the future holds.”
