Festival of Pots 2023
Lee Robinson
I am a largely self-taught artist and have been developing my painting practice for over 20 years. I exhibit regularly and have completed many commissions. My paintings are held in private and public collections in NZ, Australia, Canada and Europe.
Acrylic is my preferred medium and I enjoy painting a wide variety of subjects in a contemporary, realistic style. From Landscapes to figurative work and Portraits, I love to create works that celebrate our beautiful landscapes, home environment and people. Still Life is a firm favourite and my hope is that I can highlight the beauty of familiar and quite unremarkable objects.
