Annie Robinson
Born in Belfast, the daughter of the legendary Markey Robinson, Annie spent her childhood traveling the Irish countryside with her father as he captured its charm and life in the paintings that have made him world-renowned.
At the age of twelve Annie immigrated to America with her mother and sister. After school Annie spent a period of time soul-searching and returned to visit and travel through Ireland.
Annie paints the landscapes of Ireland, which she knows so well from her travels on foot and bicycle, from Cushendun and the Glens of Antrim in the North, to Killarney and the ring of Kerry in the South. She paints the simple life of an earlier Ireland that is now getting harder to find. She brings her own inspiration to the farmhouses, patchwork greens fields, fishing villages, and country churches that grace her paintings. Her fathers presence is still with her. In a strange way my father and I were drawn to life and art in similar ways. I think, the joy and romance of a moment of life was the same for both of us, and that is what we try to communicate as artists.
