Robin Spain is a Trusted Partner of RiverRhee Consulting. They are a self-employed artist and they have been involved in art and creativity since they were a young child.
Having completed an A-level in Art, and GCSEs in Art and Photography, Robin compares the way art is taught academically with the self-directed “play” learning of art we all do as children. Although there are benefits to both ways, Robin is very aware of how the academic art pathway can put people off being creative in their lives by creating a feeling of not being ”good enough”.
Art can often be viewed as an innate skill some are born with and others not, affecting our self-confidence and view of ourselves. Robin would like to share a return to learning by playing and creating art for pure enjoyment and self expression, which they believe can have a positive impact on our lives and relationships.
Robin provides artistic ideas and technical guidance for “Art for Well-being”, a community group sponsored by RiverRhee. They also provide one-to-one tuition for people who want to explore all forms of artistic expression. Robin is a volunteer at Red Balloon Cambridge where they support students with their creative expression in art, music and drama.
