Art, music, nature, and the spirit of things tapped me into life, joy, and my truest self at a very young age. Painting has been my primary medium and the scent of oil paints smells like home to me. My art speaks for me and is a form of sacred medicine that transcends verbal language. By turning to my art to understand my own personal human experience, I hope to reveal hidden narratives that connect us all. The life-changing strokes I experienced in 2022 caused me to approach the creative mediums I’ve used over the years with fresh eyes and a freer approach and rediscover my identity as an artist.
Aside from my art, I am an animist and shamanist. With great respect for the earth and all of its inhabitants, I honor the interdependent web of all existence and do my best to walk in balance and with gratitude. When it’s time for me to leave this life, I would love for the world to have been made a little bit better because I was here.
Peace,
Robyn
P.S. For those who wonder (and for the many who have asked me or think about asking, the answer is, “Yes, Bellospirito is my real name.”
