Walnut Street Bridge
Artist: Robin Howe
Medium: Watercolor and Ink
Robin Howe, a local Chattanooga artist, didn’t pursue a formal art education. However, she immersed herself in numerous workshops that centered on experimental water media, allowing her to develop her skills. Her artistic pieces carry a whimsical essence, which stems from her lack of exposure to formal drawing classes. The self-described playful and lighthearted nature of her work is particularly evident in the miniature “Where’s Waldo?”-style figures that she incorporates into various paintings.
“Making art makes me crazy happy, and I think that happy spirit channels onto the page,” says Howe. “Why the bridge? Because I love Chattanooga.”
