A third generation artist, Maura has shown, produced, and taught her unique, gentle, and energetic perspective on the internal human condition via portraiture, abstractions, figure studies, and metaphor throughout the entire world. Using recycled magazines, in an effort to encourage good stewardship of our planet, Maura intends to bring to life the emotions and expressions of loved ones who touched her life. She conveys the sweetness, intimacy, and nostalgia largely through feminine imagery, recognize that her female mind and perspective are the natural conduit through which her images are channelled. Ms. Lucchese emphatically states, “From discarded refuse, torn to bits, I lead you into knowing the human imagination is sufficient to invent new ways to affirm life, support it, and to move others into action by the passion of it’s viewing.”

Penny Rae Robinson Images
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.
A look inside:
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.
