During the last several years I have traveled all over the world and seen magnificent places and things I would have never imagined. I love photographing animals and nature and then turning them into works of art, from wild animals in Africa to monks blessing the Ganges in India and much more. My original photographs are archival pigment printed on art paper and then I hand paint embellishments and highlights onto each individual print. Each print becomes its own work of art, unique in itself. My love of travel, nature, and art have led me to this path. Through my art, I hope to bring to the viewer a glimpse into the world of nature and beauty. 713-301-5407
Handmade studio furniture using wood and metal. Welded structures provide function while their patinations add to the aesthetic appeal. Rich exotic woods (padauk, mahogany, lacewood, purpleheart, walnut) bring warmth to the steel structure. Styles range from modern to my interpretation on mid-century modern. facebook.com/fab.weld.wood
I create images of the wilderness embedded in our urban metroplex, letting light and shadow define my subjects. My photos document my walking journey, where I have slowed my pace to really look at my neighborhood in inner loop Houston and to capture moments of beauty that stir the soul.www.pennyraerobinson.com
My new book!
The Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary is a 17.5-acre wildlife preserve in west Houston, Texas. The sanctuary photographs, taken over a seven-month span, feature native birds and wildlife, and display colorful southern seasons. The pictures are accompanied by some of Edith’s writings selected from her small diary. Edith’s words describe her life in the woods, the land that she loved, and her log cabin home.

Bio:
I
grew up in a neighborhood that had been eked out of prairie grasslands
in North Dakota. Dramatic seasonal changes impacted all my senses, from brilliant sun-sparkles on crisply drifted snow,
to the soft sound of undulating prairie grasses in the evening breezes;
from the bitter taste of red rhubarb plucked from our garden to the
breathtakingly sharp smell of twenty below zero. I have touched the wind
and felt the immensity of the sky unrestricted by all except puffy
white clouds in azure summer skies and grey-blue bleary smudges of
winter’s early evenings. There is my heart home.
I have been away from home for over three
decades now. The gentler Houston winters provide grounds for lush
gardens; the soft springs invite long walks and camping trips; the
intensely humid summers force air conditioned hibernation from the
oppressive heat, and the autumns may revive us again with the brilliant
foliage of native trees if we are blessed with a cold kiss from the
north. These southern charms have lodged also in my heart.
It is in the four seasons where I begin to see the eternal creative thought of God. Days and weeks pass by, each one revealing new aspects of God’s wisdom, glory and love. No matter where I find my lodging, I will keep seeking the trails of His beauty to capture expressions of His likeness.

I paint a watercolor every day, and post these on my blog, Have Watercolors Will Travel. It’s become a ritual, a meditation of sorts. Finding inspiration and painting daily forces me to really look at the world.
