About

About Me:

My name is Tori Robinson and I’m a successful* student artist with an intense curiosity and experimental nature. This means I love to try out new mediums and new techniques in the mediums I am familiar with. Sometimes my experiments turn out, sometimes they don’t. But, this means that you get to know whether a technique is useful to you, and get a ‘how-to’ without the hassle.

I have tried almost every type to medium you can think of. I’m a an expert in several fields – including (but not limited to): acrylics, coloured pencil, pastel, and pen. I’ve been in several shows in Edmonton and have sold my work online.

I live in Western Canada, living part of the year in the prairies and other part by the ocean, so I am familiar with many different types of landscapes.
