Robin Hazard-Bishop

 

 

Born in Freeport, Texas, Robin Hazard - Bishop has always been inspired by color as evident in her strong and vibrant paintings.  A graduate of Southern Methodist University, her fine art degree focused on painting, drawing and printmaking.  She has exhibited throughout the U.S. and has many corporate and private collections including the American Bank in Houston and the Cancer Treatment Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.  Her drawings were featured in 1983 at the Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth as part of the Creative Process - Drawing Symposium. .  She has also been included in the 500 Exposition in Dallas, the Dallas Women’s Caucus for the Arts, Dallas Life Magazine, At Home in Arkansas, and in many gallery exhibits.  Her work is currently represented by Justus Fine Art Gallery in Hot Springs and Cerulean Gallery in Dallas, Texas.

 

Arkansas is an artist’s oasis, an overflowing natural backdrop to pull subject matter from.  It is what catches the artists’ eye that makes each work unique.  Whether it’s the towering height of our forests, the blazing orange-y reds of our fall foliage, or the innocent and lazy pose of a meadow saffron, I sense each of them.  I hope the viewers see what it is in nature that moves me so strongly to create each painting.”
