Norm Robins
Norm Robins studied at the Art Students' League in New
York and also with Edgar Whitney, considered one of the greatest watercolor
teachers of our time. Norm has followed in his footsteps as a teacher
and creative artist. In addition, he has taken lessons in Japanese brush
painting at the Nippon House with an old Zen Master.
While always involved in art, Robins earned a living as
a sign painter and worked on murals and billboards in New York City. Since
coming to North Carolina, he concentrates on painting in such mediums
as watercolor, gouache, pastels, oils and acrylics.
Robins has exhibited at the Nassau Museum and the National Art League,
both in New York; the paintings and photos that he took during the Korean
War are hanging in the permanent archives of the Asian Arts Institute
in NY. Robins has won numerous awards both in New York and North Carolina,
most recent being an award from the Regional Fine Arts Show in Beaufort
County. He was also recently commissioned and completed an impressive
mural in Stardust, a Morehead City waterfront restaurant. His work has
been collected by many banks and collectors throughout the east coast,
such as the Home Savings Bank in NC and the First South Bank in New Bern,
NC.
As a teacher, Robins feels that his greatest accomplishment
is working with and teaching cartooning to at-risk children and watching
their creativity develop. Some of Norm's hobbies are making bird houses
and painting Hebrew and Oriental Calligraphy. He also enjoys writing musical
play with his wife. As Robins states, "I like my art to entertain
and go to great lengths to paint and teach creatively."
