"Thou Shalt Not Postpone Joy"
That's one of my favorite phrases and no one paints and lives that out like Tricia Robinson. Her heart pours out in her painting. Here are a few of her words and images:
"Painter of happy. Believer in whimsy. Seeing God's smile in the everyday."
“The Four” (Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba) by Tricia Robinson
"When I am happy in the wonky instead of the ‘glossy pages of perfection,’ then the magic happens! I can laugh in the middle of the hard and carry a song in the healing. . .
When the painted flowers on the canvas are lopsided and my dining room table is leaning towards the middle, I can smile. There is wonky in my face wrinkles and there is wonky in my hair cut. . .
When I let go of the ‘performance’ and the ‘have to’ and the ‘shoulds’ and the culture of ‘southern culture’ and just say, “‘his is me,’ I feel like a bird just released from its cage. . 🌸"
“Be” by Tricia Robinson
"I love to draw girls and dresses and houses and flowers, just like I did when I was eight. And it is still wonky. I love fashion design. Just like I loved as a teenager. But I love wonky fashion design like Gucci… mismatched colors and fabrics... so beautifully imperfect. . ."
