Artist Statement
I am a painter and printmaker, drawn to depicting my observations of life around me; personal impressions of moments in time. Transient moments, hinting at a hidden narrative emerging from the transitory changing effects of light on surfaces, within the landscape, on figures and every-day objects. My work is an expression of my  emotional connection to the natural world,  community and family. 

I often creates prints using Mokulito. My love of Mokulito began at Baldessin Studio, through a Barbie Kjar workshop. I love the unpredictability of Mokulito, its delicate mark making, the way it can unexpectedly reveal the wood grain of the ply board plate. Mokulito has its own unique way of creating magical textural marks, dramatic light effects and mystery. 

Robyn Blaikie (b.1959) is a painter and printmaker living in Coburg, Melbourne. She completed her art teacher training in the 80s and taught for 30 years in Victoria and the Northern Territory. Robyn works in her home studio in Coburg and at the Baldessin Studio in Saint Andrews. Both her paintings and print work have been selected for many group shows and she is currently working towards more solo exhibitions.
