Working Spring 2024: My husband and I have been spending the month of March(last year January)in Austin, TX to spend time with our young grandson, now 3 1/2. This year I decided to set up a small studio space so that I could work while we are here. Among other things, I purchased an inexpensive black and white laser printer, a floor lamp and a new 5 foot folding table. I brought most of my supplies from home, and after several trips to Goodwill and retrieving items from the curb, I managed to set up my space. It’s quite tight, and the main thing I find that I lack is space to spread out so that I can see what I’m doing. I haven’t worked since fall of 2022, so basically I’m starting all over again. How does one go about making art anyway? Coming back to me are just how very hard it is, how much a slave I am to the process once I get going, and the doubts, fears, elation, and confusion that I go through each time I start working. It’s much like getting back on a bucking bronco and riding until the ride is done. What’s nice is that after more than a year of not working, I have forgotten how to do many things, which keeps it more interesting. I’m also lacking in the millions of items my studio at home provides, and I think that’s a good thing as well. #Contemporaryart #collagepaint #contemparypaintings #mixedmediaart #art #collageart #paintcollage #artecontemporania #artcurator #portrait #mixedmediacollage #mixmediapainting #mixedmediaphotography #fineart #photographypainting #arttransfer #surrealart #collage #portriats #contemporarycollageart #expressiveart #hollyroberts #psychologicalart #folkart #artbrut #neoexpressionist #neoexpressionism

Saying Goodbye. In 1987 I painted "Saying Goodbye" after a tough loss. This last week, I pulled the image out of my flat file storage, and packed it up, along with 23 other paintings that have been donated to Wright State University in Ohio(Wright State has a wonderful and unique lending program where students can check art work out for the semester from the Museum's collection). Once again, it was difficult putting together such a large body of work and sending it off, but this particular piece was especially hard to let go of. I think partially because I am at a time in my life where I'm saying lots of goodbyes: to my art, to parents who have passed on, to friends who have died too young, to a small dog who has been my special friend for 14 years.

For the first time, I will be teaching a workshop in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi at Hancock County Arts. It will be a week workshop combining paint and collage and I’m looking forward to seeing my southern students and friends, as well as anyone else who wants to try out a Southern experience. Bay St. Louis sounds pretty great, and the workshop is very affordable. The workshop is from May 6-10 2024. Link in bio.

Hummingbird (with Figure Standing). 2016. On March 30 of this year, the Museum of Photographic Art at the San Diego Museum of Art, will present my work in a 40 year retrospective. The exhibit, titled “Storyteller: Works by Holly Roberts” will run until Aug. 18, and will include 59 pieces of mine created from 1980 until 2023. There will be a beautiful book to go along with the retrospective with an essay by Deborah Klochko, former director of MOPA. At the end of the exhibit all 59 pieces will go into the permanent collection of the Museum. For the past several weeks, I’ve been preparing the work to be delivered to the museum, soft wrapping them to be picked up by art handlers and driven out. It’s very bittersweet. While I’m pleased that my work will have a permanent home at the Museum, I’m sad to see the work go. Although I sell work knowing I won’t see the work again, this is 59 pieces going in one giant exit from my life. It feels as if I’m losing my limbs all at once—fingers, toes, arms, legs and a big chunk of my heart. #Contemporaryart #collagepaint #contemparypaintings #mixedmediaart #art #collageart #paintcollage #artecontemporania #artcurator #portrait #mixedmediacollage #mixmediapainting #mixedmediaphotography #fineart #photographypainting #arttransfer #surrealart #collage #portriats #contemporarycollageart #expressiveart #hollyroberts #psychologicalart #folkart #artbrut #neoexpressionist #neoexpressionism

At the Goodthreads today(Goodwill’s fancy store)and found someone’s Collection of very colorful shoes. All the same size and style, just different colors. It’s good to know I’m not the only compulsive collector out there.

This journey requires a significant leap of faith, trusting that the unknown will be revealed through their artistic endeavors, even though it may not be effortless. My students develop a deep trust in the power of using their hands to connect with their creative Selves. They understand that true creativity emerges when they liberate themselves from being solely guided by their “ideas.” Instead, they embrace the unfolding process as they work with paint and scissors, allowing their images to lead the way. Join me, Holly Roberts @hollyrobertsstudio for my 35th (give or take) summer of teaching @andersonranchartscenter . Collage and Paint: Starting Out, September 2-6 Collage and Paint: Taking it Further, September 9-13 The workshops are sequential but can be taken individually.

At the City of Albuquerque’s Gallery One grand opening at city Hall Friday night. 11 floors of art from the city’s permanent collection, wonderful work, and a really fun way to see a great art from New Mexico’s artists. Sheri Brueggemann, director of the public art program, said “Feel free to tell folks that Gallery One is open weekdays 10-4 and the City Hall collection can be viewed anytime during regular business hours 8-5 weekdays except holidays”(with my piece “Bucking Bronco” on the 7th floor. So nice to see it again!).#Contemporaryart #collagepaint #contemparypaintings #mixedmediaart #art #collageart #paintcollage #artecontemporania #artcurator #portrait #mixedmediacollage #mixmediapainting #mixedmediaphotography #fineart #photographypainting #arttransfer #surrealart #collage #portriats #contemporarycollageart #expressiveart #hollyroberts #psychologicalart #folkart #artbrut #neoexpressionist #neoexpressionism
