I've lived in Methuen for the past 12 years with my husband Chuck and two children, Cam & Chloe. I have been painting and drawing since I was a child. I have always participated in art classes throughout my school career. I have only worked in oils for the past 3 years. I did briefly attend the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale inFlorida. Unfortunately painting took a back seat to working in an office and later raising my son. After my daughter was born 7 years ago, I did rediscover my love for painting. It started with murals in her room and their playroom. Then I enrolled in a class with Beverly A. Mitchell, an instructor at the Northern Essex Community College and started to paint with oils. I have been painting with her weekly since. I have painted several commissions and have been working for the past 2 years on a large scale mural at the Studio of Dance Arts in Methuen where Chloe takes ballet, tap & jazz. I am so glad to be painting again and am constantly inspired to create. It's great therapy! I am a member of the Arts Institute Group of the Merrimack Valley, the Manchester Art Association and the Newburyport Art Association. Email: mailto:david.robinson@comcast.net
