Robin Cheers is an artist working in the impressionist tradition with a contemporary style focused on representing the figure and everyday life. A consummate observer, Robin’s oil paintings celebrate the overlooked or ordinary scenes of modern life. Whether working on site from direct observation or with sketches and photos, Robin’s use of painterly brushwork and layering textures create light paintings full of color and life.
Robin is an active member of her local art community, a founding member of Plein Air Austin and teaches oil painting classes and mentors artists in person and online. She is an Artist in Residence at the Austin Visual Arts Association ArtSpace and is a signature member of the American Impressionist Society and the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS) and an artist member of the Oil Painters of America.
