6th Artist Review

USF CAM

Artist: Robyn O'Neil

I remembered Caitlyn talking about O'Neil's work in class, and I thought it was very interesting that she only used mechanical pencils in most of her drawings. When I went to checkout her work in CAM, I was shocked at how big her drawings were! I thought they'd be on 8 x 11 1/2 paper! Instead, most of them were on 60in x 60in paper.

The drawings that stood out to me the most were Come All That Is Quiet, Something Vanished Over, and The Minds of Others.

O'Neil has won many grants and awards, including the Hunting Prize in 2009, and the Joan Mitchell Grant in 2008. I really enjoyed her art work because it stood out from other forms of art that I am use to seeing, like painting, and sculpting.
