Robin Apple
Artist's Statement
I'm an iPhone photographic artist living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love creating abstracted, blended, collaged images featuring animals, nature, flowers, plants and other beautiful things that make me pause and wonder.
I work from start to finish using only my iPhone. Trained as a clinical psychologist, I tend to create work based on current emotional and cultural contexts. This year has been a hard Over the past year I’ve been honored and grateful to have my work accepted for various calls for art in public spaces and galleries.
