Don’t Be Afraid of Modern Art
From: Woman Around Town
I admit it, I’m afraid of modern art. I avoid modern art exhibits, can count on one hand the number of times I’ve ventured into MoMA, and that was probably with one of my kids for a school project. It’s not something I’m proud of, but I’m willing to do my best to overcome it. That’s why Robyn Jamison’s recent release The Magic of Modern Art caught my eye.

Inspiring Conversations with Robyn Jamison of The Magic of Modern Art
From: Voyage Austin
Today we’d like to introduce you to Robyn Jamison.
Hi Robyn, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I am an artist on a mission to make the magic and wonder of modern and contemporary art accessible to everyone. My goal is that being in the presence of modern and contemporary art to be a joyful, enriching experience—one that everyone eagerly anticipates, avidly soaks in and never gets over.
I have been an artist my entire life. There I was as a toddler—head down, bent over paper and crayons and paints and tissue paper and art book pictures. I have always loved everything having to do with art.

Woman’s TransformationAs she states on her website, “the context of objectification sets the stage for inhumanity.” Robyn Jamison’s work speaks to “a mythology of woman’s transformation from marginalization to personhood.”
Jamison’s work is a multi-media installation and comes from her lifelong, conscious inquiry into the nature of being human. “My works engage the viewer’s own relationship to the world at the individual, community, and global levels,” she said.
