"Reflections," "Black, White & Gray Abstract Painting By Kathi Robinson Frank

"Reflections," a black, white and gray modern, abstract painting on canvas with applied threads with orange and reddish-orange washes, framed in a black wood hand painted frame by Kathi Robinson

In her own words, the artist describes the inspiration for this painting: "returning to the Hudson Valley in early spring, after spending my winter in Mexico, I began a painting using the colors and textures I was experiencing that were also extremely primal and almost dreamlike. Every morning I would build a fire in my wood stove, gaze at the warmth of the flames and stare out at the fog-wet landscape. This was to become my meditation, my reflection."

New York City born Kathi Robinson Frank began painting at an early age. While in high school, she studied at The Art Students League and pursued her passion at Bard College where she graduated with her BA. Her early influences were Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Rauschenberg and Larry Rivers.
