Artist Bio                           

 


Robyn Lyee was born at Hill Air Force base outside of Ogden Utah. She spent many summer vacations with her grandparents at their home in Ogden. She has many precious memories of time spent with her grandparents on their front porch, looking out at the mountains in the distance, enjoying the beauty and splendor of nature. Robyn has always been enthralled by nature. Nature’s delicate perfect lines and symmetry of shapes, as well as the bold bright variations of colors continually capture her eye.

She is continually promoting plein air in her community and in her life’s pursuits. She was instrumental in creating and organizing plein air paint out events with the Fremont Art Association as well as organizing a weekly plein air group called East Bay Outdoor Painters (EBOP) which gets together to paint/sketch on Wednesday mornings.

 Robyn enjoys the spontaneity of plein air painting. Starting out with nothing; being able to absorb it all from sight to sound. Capturing the essence from temperature, atmosphere and feelings evoked around her while finding the truth in nature that is constantly changing. Robyn says, “Plein air painting is a pursuit that continues to challenge me and I love it. It is JUST PLEIN FUN!”
