‘In Conversation with Artists’: Mark Robinson

The Tweed & Area Arts Council (T&AAC) is pleased to announce the eighth artist in the series ‘In Conversation with Artists’. Every three months the work of a featured artist is displayed in various venues throughout Tweed. The artist and venues are announced on the T&AAC website, social media (Facebook and Instagram) and in The Tweed News. At each venue a poster with a QR code will take the viewer to the T&AAC website where you can find a short story (like this one!) and link to a video of the artist in conversation about their work and inspiration on T&AAC’s YouTube channel.

Our featured artist for June – August, 2026 is Mark Robinson. A selection of Mark‘s work will be on display at the Tweed Public Library, Quinn’s of Tweed Fine Art Gallery and in the atrium of the Marble Arts Centre.

Bio:

Mark Robinson is a self-taught artist and lifelong farmer based in Madoc, Ontario, whose deep connection to the land informs his work. After years in photography—where he developed a strong understanding of subject, framing, focus, light, and shadow—he turned to acrylic painting nearly 15 years ago. Working from a small studio on his farm, he creates evocative nature and landscape scenes inspired by hiking and canoeing, often drawing on his own photographic references.
