Women of the Bible: Portraits of Beauty, Audacity, & Faith by LaShonda Scott Robinson
Women of the Biblecelebrates the ingenuity, audacity, and faith of biblical fore-mothers. Sometimes the Bible records a single incident. Some names are unknown. Yet, their stories are inspiring. Robinson created this collection of watercolor and metallic acrylic to celebrate God’s most beautiful, complex, and resilient creation: woman.
The Guild is almost as old as Fairfield Glade itself. In 1978 12 residents/artists in Fairfield Glade came together to form an art guild. In the 42 years, the Guild has grown to a membership of approximately 180 individuals from across Tennessee. For more information, visitwww.artguildfairfieldglade.net.
Based in Alabama, LaShonda Scott Robinson is a watercolor artist. Art expresses her intimate feelings. A woman of color, she was taught to conceal weakness. Through art, she can openly cry without shedding a tear. Self-taught, her watercolor style is sensuous and dark. Body language expresses the truth. Therefore, the faces are blank. Robinson believes “the face reveals our thoughts whereas the body reveals our hearts.” Her work has exhibited in Alabama, Florida, New York, South Carolina, Monaco, and Switzerland.
