"Synthesis" brings together a selection of paintings from Robin Schaefer's last several bodies of work.

Complementing Denver Botanic Gardens' 2008 signature exhibit, "Urban Nature," the exhibit offers an extraordinary view into an artist's perception of nature and the built environment.

Robin Schaefer is a Denver native who uses traditional oil painting techniques to execute work that is complex and alluring, exposing luminous and vivid details. Her organic objects are isolated on the canvas, evoking a profound sense of imperfection and vulnerability.>

Schaefer was selected for the 2007 West Edition of New American Paintings and her work is in several prominent local collections, including First Western Trust Bank. She is represented by Plus Gallery and maintains a studio at Ironton in the River North Arts District.
