Whether working in oil, pastel, or encaustic, Robin Thornhill’s atmospheric paintings evoke a sense of stability and peace. Strongly influenced by John Singer Sargent, the tactile quality of her work makes the timeless beauty of the New England landscape substantially present. “There is so much chaos in the world that people forget to look for beauty and goodness,” says Robin. “I want to remind them it’s here – as tangible as the materials I use and as real as I am.” The sublime becomes grounded by the presence of her hand in the work. Best known for her landscapes, Robin’s recent experiments with abstraction are also receiving recognition. In this work, her authorship becomes even more apparent as she utilizes mixed media to develop her exploration of the theme of time.
Robin is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America, a juried member of Oil Painters of America and The National Assc. of Women Artists, a member of the Newburyport Art Association, the Experimental Art Group of Rockport, Massachusetts, and the Pastel Society of Colorado.

Episode 88-Paul Schulenburg oil painter, Cape Cod, MA
After receiving a gold medal from the National Scholastic Art Awards in 1975, Paul attended Boston University School of Fine Arts. Contrary to the trends of that time, Boston University provided an
educational foundation that emphasized the fundamentals of classical art training: anatomy and form, color, composition and draftsmanship. His professors included Joseph Ablow, David Aronson, and John Wilson. He received his BFA degree in painting in 1979.
In the 1980s and ‘90s Paul created artwork for publication. His work won many awards and has appeared and been published worldwide. Former clients include: Digital, Cigna, Fidelity, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sunoco, TIME, U.S. News and World Report, The Wall Street
Journal, Cahners, Prentice Hall, Houghton Mifflin and Ziff-Davis.
Paul now lives and paints primarily in Massachusetts, in the outer parts of Cape Cod. He was featured as the cover artist on the July 2007 issue of American Art Collector magazine, and was also featured in June 2009 and June 2010. He has had two solo shows at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. In 2004 Paul was awarded a one month residency at the Fine Art Work Center in Provincetown, MA. He is a member of Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society and the Salmagundi Club in NYC.
