I’m a multi-directional creatrix living on an island, meandering down wooded paths with a satchel of flutes on my back and pencils and a journal in my backpack. Art, music, and nature tapped me into life, joy, and my truest self at a very young age. Painting has been my primary medium. I fell in love with oil paints around 8 years old and the scent of them still feels like home. I love that they are made with natural materials, so I paint with nature. Aside from my art, I’ve also enjoyed making music, costumes, doing art performances, writing songs and stories, mask making, and doing work in clay. My art speaks for me and is a form of sacred medicine that transcends verbal language. The life-changing strokes I had in 2022 caused me to approach the creative mediums I’ve used over the years with curiosity, grief, and an openness to a new way forward. The ‘Muse’ has altered course but is never far away.
Aside from art, I am a nature lover, a tarot card reader, and have a background as a shamanic practitioner. 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 to all,
Robyn
P.S. For those who wonder (and for the many who think about asking), the answer is, “Yes, Bellospirito is my real name.”
