So many shows coming up!

April is shaping up to be a busy month for me! I hope you’ll see my work in one or more of these exhibits:

Visual Indulgence

I’m thrilled to be in this upcoming exhibit at Luna Rienne Gallery. Visual Indulgence is a foray into color and process with paintings by Ingrid V. Wells and Heather Robinson that are simultaneously playful and serious; simple and complex. Vibrant patterns are immediately inviting yet crafted through a deliberate and extensive process that involves modeling, masking, layering and more.

Luna Rienne

Opening Reception: April 9, 5-9pm
Exhibition: April 9 - May 1, 2022

Be the first to visit my new studio

Or visit me March 3-6 at Superfine!

You might remember that Secession is closing their San Francisco location on March 13, and I've been gradually moving to a space at Arc on Folsom St. I'm not totally set up for painting in the new studio yet, but I'm getting there. This weekend I'll be opening up to visitors!

I'd love you to visit on Saturday, Feb 26, 7-9pm. Arc is at 1246 Folsom St in San Francisco, and you can find me upstairs in #202. That night is the opening reception for the 48 Pillars show in the gallery space, and the other artists will be opening their studios, so there will be lots of great art to see.

Aside from moving, I've been spending as much time as I can creating new work for Superfine Art Fair, March 3-6. I'll be debuting more than a dozen new paintings there. I hope you'll come see me and the 60-plus other artists showing that weekend at Fort Mason.

Auction for San Francisco-Marin Food Bank

I’m proud to say I’m participating in Studio Gallery’s benefit auction for the San Francisco Marin Food Bank. I’m offering “Modulate”, this 12x16” acrylic and fabric painting. Pieces for the auction will be available for viewing in the gallery, but all bidding will take place online. Bidding will begin the afternoon of Thursday, February 24th and close at 6 pm (PST) on Sunday, February 27th. Keep an eye out on Studio gallery’s site for more info!

It's almost moving time

Looking forward to showing you my new space

The first quarter of 2022 is a busy and exciting one for me. As you might know, I'm moving studios from Secession Art & Design to Arc starting next month. Secession is closing their San Francisco location on March 13.

You'll still find me at Secession for some of February - I plan to move somewhat gradually, as I've got a lot of painting to do! Superfine SF is happening in early March and I'm working on several new pieces for it. But I'm also really looking forward to setting up my new studio - going forward, I'll be able to work bigger. I can't wait to see where that leads me.

My studio moving sale is still on - I've added many of these half-off pieces to my website so you can collect them directly, but you can see the whole collection here.

I hope to be able to show you pictures of my new setup soon! Thanks so much for your support.

Holiday Shows!

I’m participating in three different holiday events this December:

Holiday Gift Market at Arc - Friday, December 3, 5-9pm

Thinking about artful holiday gifts? It's not too early

Artful gifts available now

It feels like the holiday season is beginning earlier this year. Whether it's all the warnings about the supply chain disruptions, or just that we want to have something to look forward to, I think a lot of us have started our shopping already. With that in mind, here are some things I think you'll like!

Apart from my larger original art, I'm introducing a series of Sutro tower paintings. These affordable little one-of-a-kind pieces have been hugely popular -the first two released sets sold out before I could even get them on my website. I've just finished a few more, so I wanted to make sure you have a chance to own one. I hope to complete several more of the square ones before December - when I do, I'll let you know.

This year, I'm also offering a special collection of printed gifts like pillows and customizable items that ship directly to you. I've chosen quality products, often using natural materials (the 100% silk scarves, for instance - I love how they've turned out!)

You'll see me at a few in-person art events in San Francisco in December (details to come), where you'll be able to buy some items directly from me, but I wanted to give you an early heads-up so you have time to order printed gifts for the holidays from my website. Let me know if you have any questions, or if there's a design you'd like to see!

Warmly,
Heather

Tiny is happening soon

I’m very pleased to be showing several of my new Sutro in Fog paintings at Studio Gallery for their annual tiny show, one of my favorites! Tiny is in its 17th year, and features art under 7x7x7” and less than $500 - there are tons of treasures to discover.

August has just zoomed by and it’s almost Open Studios season here in San Francisco. I’ve been in the studio as much as possible, creating new work for the events I’m participating in.

There will be great art, beautiful views and free parking - hope to see you there!

Visit me Saturday, August 21, 11am-5pm in the Sunset Mercantile space, near 37th Ave and Ortega. There'll be art vendors, music, food trucks, and a kid's area - it should be a fun way to spend some time and support your local artists. Booths are all distanced and everyone will be masked up. I'm looking forward to seeing you!

14th Anniversary Show at Secession

Secession Art & Design is celebrating its fourteenth anniversary! I've had my studio within Secession since Eden started it back in 2007, and I'm delighted to still be painting there. To mark the occasion, there's a new exhibition, featuring vibrant abstract paintings by me and Makiko Harris.

⁠Join us for an in-person party and art opening this Friday, August 6, 6-8pm. We ask that everyone wear a mask. If you're not able to make it, the art is all available online at https://www.secessionsf.com/art?category=%23longevity, and the show will be up through September. Hope I'll see you!⁠

Kemsley Galleries

I’m happy to say that I’m now represented by Kemsley Galleries, who are featuring a selection of my geometric paintings. I met Victoria Kemsley at The Other Art Fair LA last month and was very impressed by her energy and her attitude. I look forward to working with them!

June 24-27 The Other Art Fair LA

I’m immensely excited to be participating in this year’s The Other Art Fair LA, in person at ROW DTLA June 24-27. I’ve created fifteen new works just for this fair. You can buy timed-entry tickets online or at the door. Use ROBINSON25 at checkout for a discount on your ticket.
