The Full Circle Nine Gallery (FC9) will feature Robin Frost-Bess in “A Little Doodle, A Little Breathing Room,” as part of the December First Friday art tour, Friday, December 4th, 6-9pm. Admission and parking are free.“What happens when you give yourself permission to create without knowing exactly where you’re going?” Robin Frost-Bess asks fans of her paper-based art. “For me, it starts with a doodle. A line becomes a pattern, that pattern takes an unexpected turn, and small details grow into something playful, surprising, and entirely their own. My doodle art celebrates that freedom—the joy of following an idea simply because it makes you curious.
Robin Frost-Bess creates using an array of colorful paper, more than just collage. In her hands, each paper shape blends together with acrylic paint and art pens, building a world and bringing her ideas to life. And now, she turns to her pens to see what happens when she explores her world via her doodles.
“This collection grew from my need to loosen up, explore, and reconnect with the pleasure of making art,” Frost-Bess said.
About Robin Frost-Bess
Robin Frost-Bess lives in Danville with her husband of 40 years, and is proud of her four children and several grandchildren. She comes from a family of artists, with the appreciation of art running deep in her family’s story. Her grandmothers were artists and her parents met through those art shows. Frost-Bess feels like she’s spent time creating art that will connect with buyers, but maybe not fully amplify her particular voice.
“For me, doodling offers breathing room. Repeating marks, exploring shapes, and letting one detail lead to another helps me slow down and set aside the pressure to get everything right. There is room to experiment, make mistakes, and discover something I hadn’t planned,” Frost-Bess said.
To encourage that spirit of curiosity, playfulness and imagination wandering, visitors will be encouraged during the show to pick up a pen and doodle too, giving them a few minutes to see what comes of it and join in the freedom of play, exploration, and imagination.
