“I am moved by the ever-changing natural beauty of the world and express it in my work as motion and emotion that go beyond a literal snapshot in time. Even my most abstract paintings are based on a very specific personal experience, saved in sketches, photos, memories and dreams. The flow of color and line are used to depict my awareness of the constant motion of time and evolution of every day and each experience. In these works I am exploring "THE ABSTRACT NATURE OF NATURE.”

Robbie Laird’s paintings captivate the viewer with an exciting balance of flowing ambiguity and varying amounts of specific detail. Using large brushes and flowing paint, her work dances on the edge of abstraction and reality. She sometimes uses the unique qualities of flowing transparent watercolor to create mysterious rhythmic works, while in other pieces she incorporates a variety of other watermedia. A continuing source of inspiration is her lifetime interest in natural cycles and connections. She has painted extensively in Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park, near her home in northern California, for the last decade; and has begun a new series inspired by the Ancient Bristlecone National Forest.

Her paintings have received numerous awards in National and International exhibitions. In addition to various watermedia paintings, she expresses her vision in forged metal and wood sculpture as well as leaded glass design.
