Becky Robbins is native to Colorado where she lived until moving to California to honor both mountains and the ocean. The variety in her career choices have included medicine, the business of creation and development of personal growth and at this time, the business of creating art. Her life choices that have contributed to this endeavor owe to her love of Nature both above and below the sea, of worldwide indigenous cultures, science, music, theater and the exploration of the psychology and spirituality of humans and creatures.   Her art became the focus of her life after leaving the personal development business and having a curiosity for all things that have profound depth and interconnectedness in tangible and ethereal ways.  Minimal academic art education created the freedom for Becky to immerse in series of art vastly different and unique that have led her to this current expression which is her signature style, while every painting is its own individual world.   Her art is informed by her love of adventure travel and back roads experiences chosen to illuminate the land, its creatures, the cultures and their self-expression in both lifestyle and the things they make. This depth of knowledge which is never complete nor permanent is what gives each painting its own voice and keeps Becky returning to the easel as a tool for her own awareness and expansion in her personal life and operating system in the world at large.   Her work is experienced in the images portrayed, collaborated at times with other artists and photographers, and in the manner the viewer is taken on a personal journey of their own. Each oil painted piece is a half-year process itself and perceived through the lens of the artist and the world she inhabits.    Her current projects include a show created for television called The Art of Art. It's a cinematographic experience seeing individual creators in the process of their craft and it's hosted by Becky. She interviews these masters and ties in those who use the creations.How does paint get in a tube? That question created the trip through the Old Holland Paint Company labs where pigments from the Masters were obtained and are still used to make some of the best oil paints in the world. That episode ends with a tour through the Restoration Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in NYC. A visual feast! Another episode stars saddle makers and the intricate process they use and includes the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and how a group is focused on creating indoor arenas for the children to be able to have refuge in the long South Dakota winters, reviving their heritage by learning to ride horses, participating in relay races between tribes and much more.   Becky has had remarkable healing experiences after 2 total knee replacement surgeries by using lasers that are unique in the world, created by a unique doctor and is devoted to getting these out into the world to assist others with healing from surgeries, injuries, cognitive decline and more. It's a passion for her to help others achieve the freedom she now has.    Becky describes herself as an outdoor person when not in her studio, loves an active lifestyle of skiing, diving, hiking, and and more. An avid learner, she enjoys her guitar, djembe drums, research and discovery. She is an advocate of HeartMath and meditation, her spiritual evolution and care of this planet Earth. She is a devoted supporter of La Jolla Playhouse and Scripps Institute of Oceanography's Birch Aquarium and a program Just Like My Child for Girl Power in Uganda and India. . She treasures her family and lives and works in Del Mar, California.

Lorrie's artistry began in 1999 after a spiritual experience during a challenging time in her life. With no formal training she began painting using her fingers, with pastels as her medium. The Artwork and The Angel Gallery Thirty-six Spirit Inspired pieces were created and exhibited as a permanent collection from 2001- 2015. The Spirit Art with its Angelic essence created a unique and beautiful atmosphere which lent itself to the seeker as a doorway between worlds. They became known as Lorrie's Angels. The gallery known as the Sanctuary of Angels became a beautiful resource for people from around the globe. All traditions and none , people who were grieving, others challenged with illness along with other searchers would come in search of the peace, hope, comfort and upliftment the gallery space offered.   In 2013, Lorrie was further inspired to create a new body of work in sculpture called: The Seven Heads of God. The VII Sounds. Departing from pastels, I was to create my first body of work in clay in 2013. There are seven sculptures in total created and they strike a prayerful pose as though in deep prayer. Standing together as one Sounding the Sound of the Divine Creating a deeply mystical yet sacred and holy atmosphere calling the viewer to enter into and commune with their essence. Enabling them to return to the very essence of their own creation.Contact for further details : eugene@giftsforthesoulbylorrie.com or call Eugene 0852554756 Commissioned portraits are also available at https://giftsforthesoulbylorrie.com/pages/commission-spirit-guide-portrait
