Robyn Rayner

My Surroundings form the initial inspiration for my work,

which are essentially observations of the world around me. I'm

interested in the experience of the landscape, a sense of place and

the comings and goings of everyday life.

I arrange and filter images combining sketches with memories

and often work spontaneously and intuitively. From my initial ideas,

my prints grow quite organically through the mark making processes.

I enjoy this journey and encourage it.
