Robin Maria Pedrero paints the spirit and energy of life in rhythmic layers of color. She responds to what catches her eyes and heart personifying nature, evoking a range of moods with a touch of whimsy. “I use a symbolic visual language exploring both the visible and invisible creating a commentary on relationships and thoughts. As I work the images can be unexpected flowing from gathered memories. Music plays a role in my process and seeps into my art. I build layers making connections and a story comes forth and unfolds. The work evolves, and quite often by the time the painting is finished it has a history of stories interwoven in the layers.” Born in Connecticut in 1964, Pedrero studied painting with professional artists and exhibited at the Mystic Art Association as a teen. Pedrero is an award winning artist with work in museum permanent collections, film, and collected worldwide. Pedrero had worked from her Florida studio from 1989 through August 2016. She now creates from her studio in Frisco Texas. She is an elected signature member of the Pastel Society of America. She was awarded Best Artist in Florida 2012 by Baterbys Art Auction Gallery and listed in Florida International Magazine’s Florida Artists Hall of Fame. Her first solo museum exhibit was held in Sept - Oct 2015 at the Lake Eustis Museum of Art.
