All Summer Long

If island life beckons you to stay just a day, a month or a lifetime longer, you’ll understand the lure of Robin Renee Hix’s art. Her distinctive seaside vignettes will make you feel salt-laden breezes and sand between your toes. Robin Renee Hix searches for subjects that spark her painterly interests, and then enlivens them with a brilliant sense of color and an impressionist’s twist. Her unique signature style combines the nearly lost art of developing black-and-white photography in a darkroom with exuberant, hand-painted oils. The brilliant photo-paintings document her travels and depict the intrinsic freedom of spirit found in the tropics. Hix’s work, which evolved from her memories of growing up in coastal South Texas, engages the beach bum inside every tropic lover’s soul. She captures that moment nearing the end of an idyllic vacation when you sincerely say to yourself, “Forget it I’m not going back.”
