About Robin Street-Morris
I’m a San Diego, California-based visual artist and amateur naturalist.
I work primarily with a mixture of transparent watercolor and powdered soft pastel pigments which I layer and blend on heavy, archival paper to diffuse all but the most visually import lines, a technique that gives my landscapes an ethereal, atmospheric feel. My photographs are taken with professional equipment and processed in Photoshop.
