Robyn Markey is an Australian oil painter working from her home studio in Armidale, nestled in the picturesque New England region of New South Wales. Surrounded by lush gardens and natural beauty, her creative inspiration flows directly from the textures, colors, and patterns she observes through her studio windows. Her still life compositions often feature vintage crockery, patterned textiles, seasonal fruit, and flowers—objects that reflect her love for detail and design.
With a fascination for translucent petals, tangled leaves, and lush botanical forms, Robyn’s floral works bring the delicate beauty of nature onto large-scale canvases, revealing a secret world often overlooked. More recently, she has begun exploring interior scenes that capture quiet, contemplative moments when nature enters the home—moments that invite peace and reflection.
Trained at Adelaide Central School of Art, Robyn embraces a slow and meticulous process rooted in traditional oil painting techniques. She layers paint and glazes to create works with depth, luminosity, and emotional resonance. Whether painting a flower, still life, or morning light filtering through a window, her aim is to offer refuge and restoration through the beauty of stillness.
