Andrea Robinson’s Artist’s Statement: “Creating artwork is as important to me as the air that I breathe. I love celebrating nature and paint our natural environment to inspire and uplift viewers. I also use art to raise awareness of environmental issues. Some of my artworks are based on what I see in the natural environment, and some are from my imagination – this way I can create worlds of beauty and activism, which I hope will create cultural conversations around our environment. As an environmental artist my aim is to work in harmony with the natural environment as much as I can. I only use good quality materials. I use thick canvases and papers and museum grade paints which are durable, long-lasting and more sustainable.”
