Dreaming of the seaside and horses. 
I grew up at Muir Beach just North of the Golden Gate and in the Napa Valley where impressions of Northern California and my continued passion for riding are the inspiration for my paintings.
I studied fine art at CCSF and graphic design at Platt College in San Francisco and became a furniture designer for a family furniture business.
My furniture designs have been featured on HGTV and Extreme Makeover and my showroom has been shopped by Sherwin Williams to determine current color forecasts.
Now a full time artist, my art is has been purchased by HGTV Secrets of a Stylist's show, the editors of Better Home and Gardens Magazine and is sold through Galleries, Designer Showrooms, Furniture Stores and The Atlanta and High Point Furniture Markets.

Music is the main source of inspiration for my paintings. Music, forged by the composer from air and sound, has motion and shape, and incredible emotional substance. I listen over and over to grasp the essence of each work of orchestra music. I try to understand its particular beauty, its emotion, its unique character as well as architecture and form—then try to put that into paint on canvas.

My fine art work consists primarily of landscape and cityscape images drawn from the Bay Area and throughout the West. A few of the pieces are semi-abstracts derived from some of the more naturalistic captures.

Form without Function
My sculptures, both in clay and in steel, are serial progressions working with the intersection of form and surface. Working in the tradition of the ceramic artists of the 1960's, these sculptures are deliberately non-functional. And, where the potter is concerned with what will fill the form, and how it functions, I am only interested in the interaction between shape and surface.The forms begin as shapes common to functional pottery. I enjoy the fact that I make things that simply represent the functional, trumping the classical image of pottery and expanding the viewer’s expectation of clay objects. I have finished these shapes with surfaces that invite the viewer to imagine a back story, a history. Look at the work, and enjoy the questions it evokes, enjoy the story it tells you.

Hiking, photographing and sketching from the Rockies West is the best of nature and adventure visuals--texture, shape, sun, shadow, color. The endless geologic and natural images capture me. No recreated image approximates the scale and intricacies of rock, erosion, water, or weather in light and shadow. My effort in the studio to is to recapture a portion of that infinite magic. Additional paintings and photographs are visible on my flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/et-highway/sets/

Robin L. Humphreys is a glass and mixed-media sculptor based in the San Francisco Bay area. Humphreys addresses concepts of growth, decay, duality and emotion in her sculptural work, through the combined use of form, texture and material language. Her work is informed by natural forms and processes, optics, play and meditation. Robin L. Humphreys received a BFA in Glass from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2009. Past exhibitions include the Glass Art Society's 2009 International Student Exhibition, the MassArt Annual Senior Show (2009) and Chappell Gallery's 2009 Friends of Glass Exhibition. Humphreys currently works for Public Glass of San Francisco as the part-time Studio Operations Coordinator and a glass flame working instructor. Humphreys also works part-time as a studio administrator for sculptor Oben Abright. She has a passion for teaching and working with people. 

Each person experiences the world in their own way, making truth subjective. My artwork is a visual representation of my truth, through my eyes and experiences. The pieces all start off with an initial idea but always grow into whatever they were meant to be. I don't attempt to depict the world as we see it. My work is about letting my little intrigues tempt you into my world of lies.

All of my work is one of a kind and emerges from my original photographs, taken close to home or during my travels around the world. The mix media process I use takes the photograph printed on paper as a basis over which I use collage assembly on canvas or wood as a means to bring to the fore one aspect: The feeling I had when I took it. The special detail that made me focus on the object. The beauty beneath. And most importantly the shapes and lines within each other that created that stoppable moment for me. Once the collage is complete I paint in and over objects to either enhance the subject of my focus or subdue and manipulate other surrounding images. It takes getting really close to my work to see all the details that go into creating one piece.
