Full Circle Nine Gallery Features Robin Frost-Bess in “Do What Makes you Happy!” For April First Friday

  • First Friday Art Opening
  • Full Circle Nine Gallery

Apr 5 – 28

Robin Frost-Bess takes a different path to create her work, weaving together acrylic paint, handmade or “found” paper, hand-stamped fabric, alcohol ink pens and art pens onto canvas, depicted scenes everything from overseas trips to animals and plants, anything that makes her happy.

“I create because I need to create. Creating art is what makes me happy,” Frost-Bess said. “I waited a long time to start my art business. I raised my family and I’m at a time in my life where I can devote much of my time to creating. I am the happiest when I’m in my art room, except for when I’m with my husband of forty years, and my children and grandchildren, of course.”

About Robin Frost-Bess

“I grew up in a home where my mother was an accomplished artist, as well as both of my grandmothers,” Frost-Bess said. “I thought everyone’s house smelled like paint and was filled with canvases.”

Robin Frost-Bess comes from a long line of artists and hopes that if they could see what she’s doing, that they would be proud of her work. She lives on ten acres in Danville, west of Indianapolis and has been married to her husband, Scott, for over 40 years. They have four children and five grandchildren, whom Frost-Bess encourages to continue on the family artistic legacy.

For Frost-Bess, the best kind of work brings with it smiles.

“True to the name of my show, do what makes you happy,” Frost-Bess said. “I love traveling and nature. These loves come through in my work.”
