Hi everyone! My name is Robyn Skaley. I’m an artist, illustrator, art educator & librarian.
I offer art classes & workshops in Edmonton and surrounding area.

I love to create whimsical, playful characters with hidden little details and painterly texture. I paint intricate, expressive florals and landscapes. I paint in acrylic, gouache, pastel & Procreate.

Happy Birthday to Canadian painting icon Emily Carr (1871-1945), whose natural landscapes drew inspiration from the First Nations of Canada's west coast. Carr was the unofficial eighth member of the Group of Seven, but she'll always be Number One in my books!
