Girl in Conch Shell Necklace

This piece is a work in progress. She has more layers to be applied, but I kind of like her softness right now, so I wanted to share her with you. Plus, I've always thought it was fun to see the stages an artist goes through when completing a painting. Sometimes the first version is the best one. I will find out tomorrow.... hope you had a nice Sunday!!

Ten Women Venice Welcomes Robyn Feeley!!

"Year of the Pig" by Robyn Feeley

One look at the portfolio of artist Robyn Feeley and you may be asking "Why Paint Animals?" Robyn's response would most likely be, why not!? Inspired by the raw beauty and unconditional love that emanates from the animals, her whimsical pastel portraits truly capture the essence of each animal. This self-taught artist has an uncommon approach to her work. Her ability to think outside the box allows her artwork to be free and quite fluid. Her style is truly unique. Working from photographs and personality descriptions, Robyn has been delighting her clients from New York to LA since 2003.


"Painted Cat" by Robyn Feeley


Robyn is active in her community as a member of the Topanga Chamber of Commerce, the Malibu Art Association and the Arizona Artist Guild. She is also a member of the Topanga Canyon Gallery, The Red Dog Gallery in Phoenix, The Cactus Gallery in Eagle Rock CA and the newest member to Ten Women Venice! Robyn shares her Topanga canyon home with her 14 year old son Max, 3 rescue dogs and a miniature pot belly pig named Frank.
