MARIA ROBINSON
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT | AMERICAN TAPESTRY ALLIANCE (ATA) | TAPESTRY WEAVERS IN NEW ENGLAND (TWINE) | HANDWEAVERS GUILD OF CT
BIOGRAPHY
Born in Poland, Maria Robinson graduated with a degree in Fine Art, specializing in Artistic Tapestry Weaving from the School of Fine Art in Tarnow, Poland. For several years, she
collaborated with talented artisans at Poland’s most renowned weaving cooperative, where commissioned tapestries were created for
castles throughout Europe, as well as for private collectors, banks, and institutions. After moving to the USA, Maria continued her weaving, and her latest contemporary approach is based on the classic Gobelin technique. She draws inspiration from her natural surroundings, particularly water and landscapes.
VISION
Having vacationed in Newport for many years, Maria Robinson has many fond memories of the area. She views it as a place to unwind when life becomes too busy, while also offering opportunities for excitement, rich in history, music, and architecture. Maria hopes that viewers of her tapestries can feel the charming embrace of this special place, where the rhythmic sounds of the surf create lasting memories as one wanders along the shore.
