LPAPA Signature Artist Robin Purcell’s landscape paintings have been selected recently by four prestigious art organization’s juried exhibits. She shares “I am inspired by mountains and hills of very size. Looking up to a summit or down and across our beautiful bay lifts my spirit. Ever changing light, color and shapes present a constant challenge and make me grow as an artist. I feel lucky to live near the open spaces of Mount Diablo State Park.” — Robin Purcell
