About The Artist: Robin Ruybalid
“I’ve always felt that fall is a dramatic time of year. Nevada skies are full of textured clouds, and the sun just shines differently at this time. Fall harvest in Northern Nevada is equally dramatic and beautiful, with its own color palette. When I started to create this piece, I was inspired by Renaissance paintings, which always (in my mind) seem to be set in the fall.”
Born in Southern California but raised in Reno, Robin Ruybalid studied art and criminal justice at the University of Nevada, Reno. Some of the frequent styles seen from her are printmaking, thread and textile arts, and photography. More recently, she has become obsessed with the Mexican holiday honoring the dead, Dia De Los Muertos, and its trademark sugar skulls, which has led her to produce three-dimensional works done in sugar. Professionally, Ruybalid works in the social services field, and she believes that art provides a much-needed creative outlet from that life. She focuses on exhibiting locally, as she believes in the local art community and is proud to be part of its growth. You can see more of her artwork and upcoming shows at Robinruybalid.com.
