ART SUNDAY 05/11/08: Robyn Collier, Australian artist
I discovered a great artist on the internet. She comes from Australia and she is a wonderful nature artist. What I like about her work mostly is her color combinations. Her work is based on Australian landscapes and her colors are awesome ! She knows what I like ! I can’t believe these are paintings ! They look like photographs. My favorite one is the last one, but I’m sure you’ll have your own favorite.
Robyn Collier is a painter in the realist tradition and is regarded as one of Australia’s finest wilderness artists. Her work is highly sought after for corporate and private collections alike both within Australia and worldwide.
Renowned for her portrayal of remote places, Robyn treks, flies, drives and even abseils into many of them. More frequently, Robyn has been concentrating on World Heritage areas within Australia, searching for the hidden gems that make her paintings so unique. The trademark of all her paintings is the capturing of spectacular light that few artists seem able to achieve.
Robyn has held over 30 exhibitions, has won multi awards and appeared on five television shows. She has published many articles on painting.
Robyn’s philosophy is simple – to reflect the awesome beauty of nature in her paintings.

Your artist has captured the Australian Landscape beautifully and yes the colours are outstanding both in the paintings and the here and now. How wonderful that you stumbled across her and I think that the paintings you have shown originate in Western Australia. These paintings are a perfect depiction of the vibrancy that can be found here in Australia and she has done us proud, Stunning both, Artist and her Art. Thanks for featuring her here.
